The Glasgow MBA Scholarship for Women in collaboration with the 30% Club

The Glasgow MBA Scholarship for Women in association with the 30% club aims to promote women in leadership by encouraging women to enrol in the MBA programme.

There have been significant changes to educational and professional opportunities for women; the Glasgow MBA has consistently welcomed a high proportion of women in its cohort, and we would like to strengthen further women active participation in the programme.

The University of Glasgow aims to meet the diverse needs of women through its Glasgow MBA programme.

Now for the third consecutive year, the Glasgow MBA is pleased to award one full tuition fee waiver scholarship to an outstanding woman who shows a clear potential to impact an industry or country and needs practical support.

This reflects the shared mission of the University of Glasgow Adam Smith Business School and its partner organisations to help develop strong female talent and to improve gender diversity on leadership teams.

It supports the 30% Club’s goal of achieving a minimum of 30% women on FTSE-100 boards.

Gender diversity often exists at early-career stages but falls away at senior levels. To improve the gender balance on leadership teams, this scholarship supports talented senior women to undertake MBAs and rise to the top.

To be eligible:

• You must be an outstanding female applicant who shows immense potential and needs practical support.
• Candidates must be a high academic achiever (1st Class Honours) and/or an excellent record of accomplishment of professional achievement.
• You must have successfully passed your interview and received an unconditional offer or conditional only upon IELTS for the MBA (Master of Business Administration) programme for September 2025 intake.
• We may consider your financial circumstances also.

Please note that only current applicants are eligible to apply for this scholarship.

Please email business-mba-recruitment@glasgow.ac.uk to discuss your application.

 

University of Glasgow is committed to support as many self-funded students as possible which is why UofG discounts and scholarships cannot be combined with one another or any external sponsorship discounts (with the exception of Alumni Discount).

If you are offered more than 1 scholarship, the lower value award will be deleted from your account.
