African Scholarships
Edinburgh Business School launched a major scholarship initiative in Southern Africa in 2009. The scheme, managed in partnership with the Canon Collins Educational & Legal Assistance Trust is for individuals in Southern African countries and is open to disadvantaged individuals resident in Africa who would find funding their MBA studies impossible.
On September 13, 2010, Edinburgh Business School announced a scholarship programme for Africa which would allow 250 people to study its flagship MBA programme. The scholarship programme has been endorsed by Graça Machel, wife of South African president Nelson Mandela, and will enable disadvantaged applicants across Africa to gain skills and expertise in management and business, helping them to effect change in their organisations and communities.
