Question

Divakshi Arora · Accepted Answer

The average scholarship for an MBA in Europe ranges between 25% and 50% of tuition fees, depending on your GMAT score, experience, and leadership record. Top schools like HEC Paris, INSEAD, IESE, and Oxford Sa&iuml;d offer merit-based awards worth &euro;15,000&ndash;&euro;40,000, while exceptional candidates can receive up to full tuition coverage through programs like the Eiffel Excellence Scholarship or Skoll Scholarship.
Applicants with GMAT scores above 710, 4&ndash;8 years of professional experience, and strong essays usually receive higher funding. For instance, at HEC Paris, most merit recipients get &euro;20,000&ndash;&euro;25,000, while at IESE, awards average around &euro;30,000.
Applying early (Rounds 1 or 2) and clearly linking your achievements to leadership, diversity, or social impact themes greatly improves scholarship chances.

Scholarship amounts for European MBAs vary, but most international students secure 30&ndash;60% tuition funding if they apply early and have a strong profile.

HEC Paris: &euro;15,000&ndash;&euro;25,000 through the Excellence or Diversity Awards.
INSEAD: &euro;10,000&ndash;&euro;40,000 across multiple merit and need-based scholarships.
Oxford & Cambridge: &pound;20,000&ndash;&pound;30,000 through Rewley, Dean&rsquo;s, or Boustany Scholarships.
IESE & ESADE: &euro;20,000&ndash;&euro;35,000 for high GMAT scorers and exceptional professional backgrounds.
IMD: Awards up to CHF 40,000, with a few full-tuition options.

Students with a GMAT 700+, measurable career impact, and strong essays showing community contribution generally fall into the top funding bracket for European MBA scholarships.
