Jeffrey Skoll Scholarships support eligible students entering the Rotman Full-Time MBA at the University of Toronto. The award is considered through the MBA admissions process and requires no separate scholarship application.
Candidates must have completed an engineering degree within the previous five years; University of Toronto Engineering graduates receive preference. Rotman runs the 20-month MBA in person in Toronto, combining 16 months of study with a four-month paid internship opportunity.
