IESE’s Young Christian Leaders Scholarship — Master's Scholarship

IESE Business School lists this scholarship for applicants to both its Master in Finance and Master in Management. It recognizes young people whose social and cultural dedication has made an outstanding contribution in their communities while advancing core values of the Christian message.

Both degrees are based in Madrid and start in September 2027. The MiF has a nine-month academic phase plus a mandatory internship of at least three months, while the MiM lasts 11 months; international elements include New York and, for the MiF, London.

Benefits & funding

IESE awards the scholarship through the relevant degree application, but the official scholarship page does not publish the amount, percentage, number of awards, or living-cost coverage.
Tuition for both the MiF and MiM is €55,500 for the September 2027 intake, so applicants should not assume the scholarship covers the full cost.

Eligibility

Applicants must apply to either the IESE Master in Finance or Master in Management.
The scholarship is for young people who have made an outstanding contribution to society through social and cultural dedication in their communities while promoting core values of the Christian message.
MiF applicants should be recent graduates from STEM, economics, finance, or business backgrounds, have strong quantitative skills, meet the English requirement, and have no more than two years of full-time work experience.
MiM applicants need an official university degree, a GMAT, GRE, or IESE Test score, the required English evidence, and no more than two years of professional experience.
IESE publishes no nationality, residency, gender, or exact age restriction for this scholarship; its financial-aid FAQ says international candidates may apply for IESE scholarships.
