Scholarships

Students in the McGill MBA Japan program are expected to derive funding for their studies from their personal financial resources, from their employer, or through a governmental funding agency.

Scholarships are intended for well-qualified candidates who come from the not-for-profit or voluntary sectors who may not have access to financial resources. Scholarships may also be offered to students with extraordinary academic achievement.

Scholarships are only offered to candidates who meet all our published requirements. Scholarship decisions are made after the candidate has been admitted to the program. These decisions are final.

A number of Scholarships are available to qualified MBA Japan candidates.

To apply for any of these Scholarships, students should complete the Scholarship Application to submit with their applications identifying the Scholarship for which they wish to be considered and elaborating on their academic qualifications, potential contribution to the program and financial need.
