OXFORD-PERSHING SQUARE GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS

Application Deadline:  6 January 2025

ELIGIBILITY:

You will be considered in order of priority for the scholarship:

New applicants to the Oxford 1+1 MBA programme.

You must be admitted both to a 1+1 MBA partnering programme and to the MBA before being considered for the scholarship (applicants on the waiting list will not be considered).

Applicants admitted to both a full-time one-year master’s course that is not currently part of the official list of 1+1 MBA partnering programmes, and to the MBA (as a separate application).

Current master’s students who have been admitted to the MBA and were not considered for the scholarship in the previous year.

Articulated vision on how the Oxford 1+1 MBA will allow you to fulfil your objectives.

You are advised to highlight these attributes in your 1+1 MBA application, scholarship essay and interview answers. 

You must submit a complete application for both courses and upload the scholarship essay in the ‘Funding’ section of the 1+1 MBA programme application by the deadline to be considered. 

You must apply by 6 January 2025 for the 1+1 MBA and for your chosen Master’s programme by its own deadline, either in December or January. Application deadlines for 1+1 MBA partner programmes can be found on the relevant course page on the Graduate Admissions website.
