Prof. Fernando Pereira Scholarship — Master's Scholarship

The Prof. Fernando Pereira Scholarship is a named award within the IESE International Foundation Scholarship Program. It supports candidates entering IESE’s MBA, Master in Management or Master in Finance and is administered through the relevant degree application.

Recipients study through the MiM or MiF routes in Madrid, or through the full-time MBA route in Barcelona. The Foundation awards scholarships each year, while applications and awards are handled according to each degree’s admissions rounds.

Benefits & funding

The award contributes toward IESE tuition; IESE does not publish a Fernando Pereira-specific amount.
For the MBA route, individual IESE scholarships typically cover 10% to 50% of tuition, and living expenses are not covered.
The official page does not state an amount for the MiM or MiF route.

IESE states no nationality, residency or gender restriction for this scholarship.
The MiF route is for recent graduates with no more than two years of full-time work experience; IESE states no scholarship-wide experience limit across all three routes.
