How to Apply for Skoll MBA Scholarship

To apply for the Skoll Scholarship follow these steps:

  1. Connect with us to register your interest in the Scholarship and make sure you’re kept up to date with announcements about upcoming deadlines.
  2. Apply for the MBA programme directly to Saïd Business School. You’ll need to do this during stages 1, 2, or 3 of the MBA admissions process for the 2019-20 academic year.
  3. Upload your answers to the Skoll Scholarship essay questions as part of your MBA application, and submit your MBA application! You’ll find the Scholarship essay questions under the “Funding” section of the MBA application. We would advise that you allow yourself about 1-weeks’ time to answer the Scholarship essay questions.
  4. The MBA Admissions Team will then assess your application to ensure you meet the academic requirements sought by the Saïd Business School and determine if you are accepted onto the MBA programme or not.
  5. If you’ve received confirmation that you have been accepted onto the MBA programme, keep an eye on your emails as the Skoll Centre will send you a link to the second part of the Scholarship application, which is an online application. See timelines below to know when to expect this email.
  6. Complete the Scholarship short online application. This consists of a series of short questions about you, how you heard about the Scholarship, your references, etc.
  7. That’s it! The Skoll Centre will then consider your candidacy for the Scholarship and advise you accordingly.

What comes next?

  1. If your written applications are successful, you’ll be invited to join a Skype interview with the Skoll Scholarship Selection Committee.
  2. If you are successful after your Skype interview, you will be invited to interview in person in Oxford. (Please see below for the steps and timelines of each interview stage; and please be aware you may be invited to further interviews if necessary.)

You are encouraged to apply to the MBA as early as possible.

I hope you find this article helpful as well as interesting.
