The African Talent Fellowship is one of three conditional-based fellowships that China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) lists for first-year students of its 16-month, full-time MBA in Shanghai. Unlike the school’s merit awards, it needs its own application materials.
CEIBS’s public pages give only the fellowship’s name: no award value, number of awards, eligibility criteria or separate deadline. The details sit on the financial aid page inside the MBA application portal.
Benefits & funding
- CEIBS publishes no award value or number of fellowships.
- MBA 2029 tuition is RMB 488,000 (approx. USD 72,500); CEIBS does not say how much of it the fellowship covers.
Eligibility
- Applicants to the CEIBS full-time MBA, for their first year of study.
- MBA admission needs a bachelor’s degree or equivalent, at least two years of full-time work, a GMAT, GRE or CEIBS Admission Test score, and English proficiency.
- CEIBS states no nationality, residence or other rule for this fellowship; the name points to African talent, but no criterion is published.
