IESE Business School offers this scholarship to women applying to its full-time MBA who have a STEM background or significant accomplishments in the field. Candidates should also show potential to advocate for stronger female representation in STEM.
The full-time MBA runs for 15 or 19 months, depending on the track. The scholarship is considered through the MBA admissions process rather than a separate application. IESE reviews scholarship applications after admission and awards them by admissions round.
