MBA Scholarships for North African Students to Study at INSEAD

This scholarship was established by a group of recent INSEAD alumni in the spirit of giving back. The donors wish to support the next generation of INSEAD MBA students from North Africa (The Maghreb). It is their hope that the scholarship will help to increase the number of INSEAD MBA students from this region. Scholarships such as this ensure that INSEAD can maintain and enhance the exceptional diversity in the classroom that is the hallmark of the school (number of counties, nationalities, academic and professional backgrounds, gender etc). It supports INSEAD’s goal of admitting talented and diverse candidates to the MBA programme, regardless of their economic circumstances.
