How can you increase your chances of securing an MBA scholarship? How high are the chances that you'll get one in the first place?

In this discussion, Charles Bibilos of GMAT Ninja and Jennifer Jackson of ‪@StratusAdmissionsCounseling‬ dive into the complex world of MBA scholarships, offering insights on the limited availability of funds and the strategies that can make a difference if you're looking for an MBA scholarship. They cover factors that admissions committees consider, from strong academic stats to diversity initiatives, as well as programs like the Consortium and Forte Foundation that support underrepresented applicants.

Key takeaways include:

➡️ MBA scholarships are limited, especially for part-time and executive MBAs.
➡️ Women and underrepresented minorities often receive support from diversity-focused programs.
➡️ Choosing schools wisely can optimize scholarship chances.
➡️ Scholarships to Harvard and Stanford are lamentably rare.


Watch to learn how to navigate the scholarship landscape to make your MBA dreams more affordable.
