ESMT Scholarships
![]() |
Supported by its 25 corporate founders ESMT is able to offer substantial scholarships to support students. The scholarship can cover full tuition and fees in exceptional cases, depending on the assessment by the MBA Scholarship Committee of the applicant’s merits. Every applicant will automatically be considered for an ESMT Scholarship. In addition to our general scholarships we would like to highlight the following:
Special full scholarships for female candidates
ESMT would like to encourage applications from female candidates who demonstrate outstanding academic excellence. Your online application has to be completed before July 1, 2010. Please note that a completed application includes submitting all supporting documents in addition to the interview.
Allocation of scholarships
Scholarships will be allocated on the basis of intellectual excellence, evidence of personal and professional achievement and evidence of strong leadership potential. Applicants do not have to apply separately for the scholarship as the application and interview results will be used to measure the mentioned criteria.
The amount of the scholarship will be decided after a candidate has been accepted into the program. The MBA Scholarship Committee reviews all applications and makes the decision as to the amount. This decision is final.
ESMT exclusively offers scholarships in conjunction with a successful application to its MBA program. The scholarship is not donated in the form of cash and will be deducted from the applicant’s tuition fees.
ESMT Corporate Fellowship Program
Coverage of full tuition and fees, 6-month traineeship paid by sponsoring company
ESMT is committed to educating the best management talent for its founding companies. The Corporate Fellowship Program (CFP) is an innovative initiative that allows applicants to the Full-time MBA to finance their studies by committing to join the participating company on completion of the MBA program. Each participating company covers ESMT tuition and fees and offers the successful fellow a 6-month paid traineeship in the company.
The Corporate Fellowship Program allows companies to define the characteristics being sought for future leadership positions. ESMT then matches these characteristics to those of successful applicants and presents short-listed candidates to the companies, who then offer fellowships to suitable candidates. In the past companies participating in the program included Allianz, Deutsche Bank, E.ON and Siemens.
For the 2011 Full-time MBA intake, ESMT is currently in the process of defining corporate participation in the Corporate Fellowship Program. As soon as we have secured the participation of companies, we will advertise the positions on this section of the website. Please check the website regularly for the latest information.
The CFP award is highly competitive, and the positions are limited in number. Only candidates who closely match the offered profile are considered for the fellowship. We therefore suggest you check alternative means of financing.
