Master’s scholarships and bursaries
Imperial College Business School is pleased to offer significant scholarship funding to our most talented applicants. A range of scholarships are available, including several dedicated schemes for specific programmes, and it is recommended that you apply early to give yourself the best chance of receiving an award.
We have three submission deadlines to apply for scholarships for our 2024 Master’s intake of students. After each deadline, we will make awards to eligible candidates. We will aim to inform scholarship recipients within approximately two months of the submission deadline. Awards will be assessed from the initial deadline onwards, and you are therefore encouraged to submit your application as early as possible in order to maximise your chance of success. Awards may not be granted following every deadline, as all scholarships in a category may have been awarded in a previous round, or there may be insufficient eligible candidates in a round.
