Sanofi Life Sciences Scholarship

Benefits & funding

• Up to 10 scholarships are available each year.
• Each scholarship covers 75% of HEC Paris MBA tuition fees.
• The award cannot be combined with another HEC Foundation scholarship.

Eligibility

• Applicants must first be admitted to the HEC Paris MBA.
• Candidates must have a healthcare background, including physicians, veterinarians, life-sciences researchers, senior pharmaceutical executives across functions, or engineers working in medical technology.
• Candidates pursuing a Double or Joint Degree are not eligible.
• The standard MBA route requires an undergraduate degree from an accredited university; HEC Paris may waive this for applicants with secondary education plus at least five years of professional experience, including three years in management, or for national-level athletes.
• HEC Paris states no absolute work-experience minimum for applicants with an undergraduate degree; at least two years is encouraged rather than required.
