Scholarships
Cass is delighted to announce the following scholarships that are available for entry to the September 2012 cohort.
Scholarships are highly competitive and reflect our insistence that only the best need apply. We don't have a typical student but we do have individual screening where we see if you are a good fit for this competitive programme.
All those receiving a scholarship will be required to assist in promoting the school during their time at Cass and once you have become an alumnus.
Please apply for the scholarship by the relevant deadline, together with a complete MBA application, consisting of the following:
- A completed online application form.
- Personal statement (approx. 1000 words).
- Two completed reference forms from suitable sources. Two professional references are acceptable.
- Your GMAT score report
- Your degree certificate(s) and, for non-UK degrees, your degree transcript or confirmation of your professional qualification (e.g. CIMA, ACCA).
- An application processing fee of £50.
- Your IELTS or TOEFL score, if English is not your native language. This requirement may be waived if you have studied or worked in an English-speaking country for at least a year.
Scholarships will be deducted from the second fee instalment (in January).
Candidates are welcome to apply for more than one scholarship, but please note that only one scholarship will be awarded per candidate.
