SI-MBA Tuition, Scholarships and Other Assistance

Award Criteria and Process

The SI-MBA Directors will evaluate each Candidate based on their application materials. All elements of the application will be considered, including but not limited to: the statement of purpose, academic performance, work and volunteering experience, other extra-curricular activities, and letters of recommendation.

In evaluating these materials, emphasis is placed on evidence for the Candidate’s commitment and achievement pertaining to sustainable business and innovation—a demonstrated history and/or passion for using the power of enterprise to create mutual value for owners and the local and global communities in which they operate. Other considerations include a Candidate’s commitment and achievement pertaining to social and environmental sustainability more broadly, and evidence of a Candidate’s ability to achieve academic excellence in the program.

Acceptance Conditions for Program Scholarship Awards

The Candidate selected to receive each incoming student scholarship will be notified via the email address he or she included on the application. All scholarship awards will be applied toward tuition balances for Modules 1 through 4, contingent upon the successful completion of the summer online preparation courses and the recipient’s active enrollment in the fall semester.
