Hello, I’m planning to apply at HEC Paris for a Master in Strategic Management. Are there chances for any kind of scholarship?

age 23
Integrated Master’s Degree (8.4/10) 
GMAT 730

1 internship

I would like to know anything that will raise the chances of getting a scholarship, as this is the only way for me to study at HEC. 
Thank you!

Hi Anelipi,

You have a great GMAT score, but the chances of getting scholarship do not only depend on the GMAT score but also on your overall profile. I would suggest you to get some volunteering experience and you could highlight your leadership skills, team building skills in you application that might help a bit.

Thanks!!

angelipi Welcome to the GMAT club,
Pointing to your profile, there is nothing much to evaluate with some few pointers.
I will advise you to post your profile debrief in Profile evaluation links :

The HEC excellence scholarship says it's based on GMAT-- is the GRE also accepted or should I take the GMAT despite being already admitted?

yashikaaggarwal · Answer

HEC Excellence Scholarship is awarded to the students showcasing strong profile/Competitive edge over others' profile. So I don't think they might be having such GMAT/GRE criteria for the selection. 
Be rest assured and good luck for the selection round.

Hi  jmehler ,

Wondering where you found this information. The school clearly says "HEC Foundation Excellence Scholarships' final decision is based on academic excellence, the overall strength of the application, the results of the selection interview, and the candidate’s GMAT/GRE/TAGE-MAGE performance." You may find more information  here

When applying for the scholarship after being admitted, it only says GMAT. I went ahead and applied anyways-- they didn't have a place to enter GMAT/GRE so it must be based on your application. I'm pretty confident GRE is accepted at this point, I was just worried I might miss out on the scholarship.

As your experience is slightly on the lower side, I would suggest that you demonstrate experiences that can provide similar growth opportunities - working in a team, working on complex problems, exposed to some commercial experience, leadership opportunities either through community service or through outside college experience.

This is going to keep coming up, not just during your applications but also during the study and post study. You will not get the best value of an MBA if you haven't had any real work experience.
