The A.H.E.A.D Scholarship is funded by the de Maddalena family and administered by London Business School. It provides one £25,000 award for a student joining an eligible MBA or Masters in Finance programme in London.
Eligibility is limited to successful female MBA, MiF full-time or MiF part-time applicants who reside in a country the School terms a developing economy. LBS does not publish that country list on the scholarship page. No separate scholarship application is required because all eligible programme applicants are considered automatically.
