Are you wondering whether top Executive MBA programs offer scholarships? For a long while, the answer was no. But over the past seven years, many of the top EMBA programs—from Kellogg to MIT and Wharton—have begun offering scholarships. With some scholarships as large as $60,000 and $130,000, you should make sure to consider not only the best steps to take to gain admission to an EMBA program, but also the best steps to ensure you receive a scholarship offer. Even a scholarship in the range of $20,000 will mean that you don’t need to bear the costs of flights, other travel, and accommodation, which can be a BIG relief. So, how can you make it more likely that you get a scholarship offer? Let’s explore four important factors.
It’s worth first noting, though, one factor that does not have a dominant impact on scholarship decisions: academic performance. That may surprise you, given the importance of academic performance in achieving undergraduate scholarships. But, at the executive level, other factors are more important in making scholarship decisions. So, let’s dig in.
Factor 1: Outstanding work experience. When you apply, many of your other admitted peers will have good work experience. They will have managed people, led teams, and overseen budgets. But the depth and breadth of your experience can make you stand out. Do you have international experience? Have you led teams through uncertainty? Have you proven yourself to be an outstanding mentor? Have you developed solid leadership best practices and principles? You should convey information like this, carefully crafted in your resume, essays, and recommendations. This will convince admissions committee members that your peers can learn nearly as much from you as from professors, making them want to provide you with an incentive through a scholarship to help ensure they get you in their classroom.
Factor 2: Proven impact. Many of your admitted classmates will have been involved in extracurricular activities or activities beyond their core role at work. While many of their volunteer roles and other activities will be admirable, the applicant who is much more likely to gain a scholarship can demonstrate their leadership impact beyond their formal role at work and within the broader community. The school wants to help promote a future leader who can impact multiple arenas, and your extracurricular record can factor heavily in a scholarship allocation decision. If you feel you need to build up in this area, it is worth gaining the advice of a skilled consultant about how to build up quickly and most effectively. This could pay off greatly in your scholarship award.
Factor 3: Importance in your industry. If you can establish that your work and/or the work of your employer is distinctly important within your industry, that can also inspire schools to consider you as scholarship-worthy. For example, if someone is working on products that will help enable a broader range of self-driving cars or taxi drones—a leading-edge area—or if someone’s company is a thought leader in their sector, you become more attractive. The school will see you as someone who is helping to shape the future. Be sure to strategically showcase credentials that will work to your advantage.
Factor 4: Distinctiveness of your personal story. Admissions committees are often inspired to award scholarships to people with very admirable and impressive personal stories. A young leader who rose from poverty and now shines as an influential business leader is one example. Another example is a person who overcame a handicap or disability to achieve great success. There are many other examples. So, assess your background carefully to determine whether you have a personal story that can make a difference in admissions committees' scholarship allocation decisions.
