The Service Stewardship Scholarship is designed for candidates who aspire to lead in hospitality, tourism, and service-focused industries.
ELIGIBILITY:
In order to be eligible, you must be self-funded or receiving a partial sponsorship or loan.
It is open to applicants joining either the full-time or part-time MBA programme. While open to all MBA applicants, this scholarship is particularly aimed at, but not restricted to, candidates who wish to pursue our Hospitality Service Leadership Pathway.
You must meet Surrey MBA entry requirements
The scholarship recognizes individuals with a passion for customer experience, creativity in service design, and the ability to inspire teams to deliver world-class service: those ready to shape the future of service leadership.
Applicants must first complete an MBA programme application and undergo an informal interview. You’re encouraged to include a few lines in your personal statement on why this scholarship matters to you and how it could help you achieve your career goals. For application enquiries, please contact MBA@surrey.ac.uk.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, alongside the MBA programme application. Selection is based on the overall application package and the interview. Scholarships are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so early application is encouraged.
BENEFIT:
This is a partial scholarship that covers up to 50% of tuition fees, depending on the applicant’s profile and interview performance. Scholarships are awarded on a rolling basis, so candidates who apply early in the admissions round have a greater chance of receiving an award. We do not charge for applications to the scholarship or the programme.
