INSEAD MBA Scholarships for Swiss Candidates
The Swiss Scholarships
During the summer 2016, the INSEAD Alumni of Switzerland created an endowed scholarship fund of over €725,400 K which, at an annual distribution rate of 4%, will ensure a €20K scholarship. The first recipient will graduate in the December 2018 MBA promotion.
Objective
To grow the Swiss INSEAD MBA alumni community by generating more candidates from Switzerland and giving them financial assistance in the form of scholarships from the INSEAD Alumni of Switzerland Endowed scholarship.
Facts
