The Sheffield University Management School is inviting applications for a number of scholarships worth £10,000 each on a competitive basis for students starting their MBA in September 2024. Applicants do not need to complete a separate application for the scholarship. All candidates who are offered a place on the full-time MBA will automatically be considered for the MBA scholarship.

Scholarships will be awarded to candidates who can demonstrate outstanding academic achievement, career progression, and potential to contribute to the MBA programme.

As part of the application process, the admissions team will assess the application, including the personal statement. Candidates will be also assessed by their performance at their interview with the MBA admissions team.

— Applicants to the scholarship are required to hold any offer to study the Sheffield MBA, conditional or unconditional.

— Applicants who have been offered a place through the exceptions process cannot be considered for a scholarship.

When assessing the application, the School will give regard to how applicants addressed the following questions (200 words per question) in their personal statement:

— Why you want to join Sheffield MBA and any other information you want to include in support of your application.

— How do you think you stand out based on your professional experience and any other notable achievements?

— How will you contribute to the Sheffield MBA?

— How will you benefit from our focus on consultancy, entrepreneurship and leadership?

— What are your career aspirations and how will The Sheffield MBA help you achieve those?

All candidates’ scores will be reviewed together once the ‘decisions returned’ deadline has passed for each stage by the MBA admissions panel. After that, all recommendations will be passed to the MBA Programme Director for final approval.

Candidates should remember that the Sheffield MBA Scholarship 2024 cannot be awarded in conjunction with other University scholarships. Also, applicants must commence their programme at the University of Sheffield in Autumn 2024, and should not be a sponsored student. The scholarship will be applied as a tuition fee discount only. There is no cash alternative.
