Executive MBA Global Leadership Scholarship

Eligibility:
Eligibility is based on your country of ordinary residence. Your nationality does not affect your eligibility.

For the September 2027 and January 2028 intakes, you are eligible if you are ordinarily resident in any of the following countries:

Brazil
Chile
China
Colombia
Japan

Selection criteria
We’ll consider:
- Leadership: your leadership experience and potential, including your ambition to make a positive impact in your country of residence.
- Contribution to the cohort: the experience and perspectives you would bring to the Executive MBA and how these could enrich the learning of others.
- Global perspective: your understanding of the opportunities and challenges of doing business across different markets.
- Future impact: how you intend to use your Oxford experience to make a lasting impact in your country of residence, organisation, sector or wider community.

How to apply
You only need to submit one funding statement. We’ll consider your statement alongside your Executive MBA application when assessing you for all scholarships for which you are eligible and which require a funding statement.

You do not need to address the selection criteria for individual scholarships separately.

Funding statement

Tell us something we would not otherwise learn from your Executive MBA application that you would like us to consider when assessing you for scholarship funding.

Using one or two specific examples, describe an experience, achievement or commitment that has shaped the leader you are today. What did you do, what did you learn, and how has it influenced the contribution or impact you have made, or hope to make in the future?

Maximum 400 words

We value specificity and reflection over polished prose. We want to understand your individual experience, in your own voice. Please avoid repeating information already included elsewhere in your application.

Deadline
There is no separate scholarship deadline.

Submit your complete programme application, including your funding statement, by the relevant application deadline to be considered.

We encourage you to apply at an earlier stage, where possible. This can give you a wider choice of colleges and more opportunities to be considered for scholarship funding.
