IESE Business School created this scholarship to mark the 60th anniversary of its first MBA graduating class. It supports University of Navarra undergraduate and master’s alumni who plan to join the next IESE full-time MBA intake in Barcelona.
The award is integrated into the MBA admissions process rather than a separate competition. The MBA offers 15- or 19-month tracks and begins in September 2027.
