Hello,
I am an Indian student with a strong academic, work and extra-curricular profile.
Have scored a 720 on the GMAT recently.
Could someone please advise on how the process works for obtaining financial assistance in the form of scholarships or grants for any of the top 30 US B-schools.
I have come to understand that different scholarships are designed for individuals with different profiles in terms of country of origin, college major, GPA etc.
Any information or link to a reliable source for these scholarships would be much appreciated.
I am planning to apply for the 2016 intake. When does the application for such scholarships begin?
Kindly advise.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Madhav,
Its great that you have a strong profile and a great GMAT score.
If you are specifically interested in scholarships, each school would have different scholarships available.
For example Kelley (Indiana) has schols for more than 50% students, UNC (kenan-flagler) has schols for over 30% students and Ross(Michigan) also has lot of schols available. Whereas in some schools its hard to quantify. Some schools like UCLA and others also offer teaching assistantships during your 2nd year of MBA to support your education.
Schools would not reveal the process of decision making but the details of schols are all available on the websites of the schools. Some schools have schols based on country,background or GMAT or experience. But you need to check that individually.
The Process :
The process schools usually follow is that you are automatically considered for schols when you apply.
Sometimes they put cut-off times, like for schol consideration apply before Round 2 or something like that.
Also, some schools might have an essay or extra question to explain reasons for need based scholarhips.
Then they consider your application and provide the results accordingly.
let me know if you have more questions !
Cheers !

Hi Madhav,
If I understand this correctly you are mainly looking for external scholarships because MBA schools generally have merit based scholarships which you become automatically eligible for once you submit your application. Very few schools will ask you to submit separate application for scholarships. External scholarships have their dedalines starting in December the year preceding the intake you wish to join. You can look at Narotam Sekhsarai, Tata Endowment Fund etc.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you would have any other specific question and we would be happy to guide.
