IESE Business School runs the Global Support Scholarship for people admitted to its two general management programs, the Advanced Management Program and the Program for Management Development. It is aimed at candidates whose situation has been hit by recent and ongoing global events.
The AMP runs seven months in person across Madrid, Barcelona and Munich. The PMD runs five months in a hybrid format, pairing residential modules in Barcelona with online intermodules.
Awards are decided by IESE’s Scholarship Award Committee, and only candidates already admitted to one of the two programs can be considered.
