IESE Business School offers the Entrepreneurship Scholarship to students admitted to its Executive MBA who have launched or are launching a business. The scholarship follows the 18-month, part-time EMBA offered in Barcelona, Madrid, Munich and São Paulo.
Applicants use a campus-specific scholarship form after admission, and IESE’s Scholarship Award Committee evaluates both entrepreneurial evidence and the wider EMBA profile.
