Henley will review and consider all applications for a Henley Masters scholarship. No separate scholarship application is needed unless it is for a specialist scholarship such as the AfRES Scholarship.

You will be notified by email if your application is accepted for a scholarship. We aim to respond to those who have been awarded a scholarship within 4 weeks of receiving your offer to study – this may fluctuate depending on the point in the application cycle

Only successful scholarship awardees will be notified.

If offered a scholarship, it must be accepted within 4 weeks of the scholarship offer date. After this deadline, scholarship offers may be withdrawn and reallocated.

Unclaimed scholarships funds will be reallocated, meaning that offer holders who did not receive a scholarship initially will be automatically reconsidered. So, if you did not receive a scholarship at the point of application, you are still eligible to receive a scholarship and will be notified automatically if you are subsequently awarded funds.

Successful candidates should refer to their scholarship notification for conditions.

Value of Scholarship(s)

£2,000-£8,000

Eligibility

All applications that meet the requirements of the course will be considered for a scholarship.

Application Procedure

All applications will be automatically considered for a scholarship. So, you can simply submit your application and you will be automatically notified if you are successful. Shortlisting and selection are based on academic merit and the candidate’s potential as demonstrated in the application form. And don’t worry if you aren’t awarded funds initially. Each month unclaimed scholarship awards are re-allocated, and all offer holders remain eligible.

Value of Scholarship(s)

A number of awards are available. Scholarships cannot be transferred to another intake if a student chooses to defer their entry.

Eligibility

Awarded on the basis of outstanding professional experience. A key consideration in our selection of Henley’s Executive MBA - Global Scholarship awards will therefore be the degree to which we believe the candidate will make a significant contribution to the experience of the cohort, thus enhancing the quality of the Henley MBA programme.

Application Procedure

To apply for this scholarship, candidates should be in receipt of an unconditional offer of a programme place. Candidates are required to write an essay of up to 800 words entitled "What will you contribute to the Henley Business School MBA community?"

I feel honoured to have been taught by OBE Awarded professors and lecturers that actively publish about current issues in Accountancy in well-known journals.

The opportunity to learn from experts along with meeting and networking with a diverse group of students from all over the world has been an amazing experience!

Henley provides students with professional tutoring in the programme, but also many opportunities combining theory and practice. They are very concerned with career planning and I am very grateful to the school for helping me transition from student to professional.

The programme is in line with the trend of future property market development. You are able to benefit from top educational and industry resources which is a rare opportunity to understand the real estate financial market.

Receiving a scholarship has provided an international platform for me, spurring future opportunities.

The program was very interesting and useful for building a professional career in human resources. The professors were creating activities to better understand the theories and this was a small simulation of a professional environment.

The Whiteknights campus's vast greenery and general calmness was a huge influencer on my productivity – a perfect atmosphere for both studies and relaxing! Having had an enjoyable time as an undergraduate, I decided to stay on and do a masters.

I was lucky enough to receive the MSc Management scholarship, which massively helped me to focus on my studies, as I did not have the financial pressures of funding the course. It allowed me to not have the pressure of taking on a part-time job, and meant that I could benefit from giving the course my full attention. I am incredibly grateful to have received this scholarship, and it has given me an extra incentive to get the most out of my studies!

The study trip not only provided a different perspective to business in an international context, but also opportunities to bond with other students from a variety of backgrounds and gain experiences I can draw upon for life.

I have been awarded two scholarships from the University of Reading and Henley Business School. This opportunity allows me to focus on my study and gives me a chance to take part in university activities. When I applied for the scholarships, I put all my effort into a written essay related to my experience, which helped me to reflect and improve myself. Writing as a reflective essay allows me to enhance my core capabilities that contribute to future goals.

I had some doubts before undertaking my Masters as it was in a subject I had no prior academic knowledge in. However, this year has been incredible and I am so thankful that I took the challenge.

I took the challenge to study a Master’s at Henley. The course outline was challenging but very well structured which helped my study and learning. My advice for anyone looking to do a Master’s is to just 100% do it!
