Scholarship application guide

These scholarships are granted under various criteria, to candidates who demonstrate a financial need. Scholarships will be awarded by a committee composed of INSEAD GEMBA faculty and admission staff. No appeal process is offered.

If for some reason you do not join the original GEMBA class for which you have been admitted and you start your INSEAD GEMBA with a future class, your scholarship application(s) will not be transferred automatically. You will have to re-apply for scholarships offered that year and compete against the new cohort.

The EMBA Scholarship Committee can withdraw the scholarship award if your company offers you sponsorship for more than 50% of the tuition fees.

For all INSEAD scholarships we require applicants to provide accurate details about their financial situation. Please fill in the financial information form included in the scholarship application form.
