The Skoll MBA Scholarship 2022/2023 at University of Oxford

The Skoll Foundation is pleased to invite highly suitable and intelligent international students from all nations who wish to further their academic path in University Of Oxford, UK to enroll for their ongoing MBA Scholarship programme for the 2022-2023 academic session.

The Scholarship program is a very competitive exercise and often considered as one of the toughest postgraduate scholarship program for incoming MBA students. The program will take place at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford for students who are currently seeking entrepreneurial solutions for urgent social and environmental challenges. The Scholarship covers the full course fees for the MBA programme, as well as partial living expenses, thus called a fully-funded programme. The Scholarship is given in recognition that the MBA may represent a significant financial burden, particularly for those who have chosen to work in the social impact/innovation space rather than the purely commercial or public sectors.

The Skoll Scholarship provides funding for entrepreneurs who have set up or have been working in entrepreneurial initiatives with a social purpose or who have pursued an impact career, and who wish to improve their knowledge of market-oriented practices so they can be more effective in their subsequent social change pursuits. In addition to financial support, the Scholarship provides access to the Skoll Scholar community, a group of leaders who are positively impacting the world through innovation and systems change, as well as exclusive opportunities to meet with world-renowned entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and investors.
