The Women in Business Scholarship

For women eager to progress up the corporate ladder, this scholarship aims to alleviate financial barriers and encourage the strategic and analytical thinking necessary for successful career progression at a senior management level. LSBF can help with identifying mentors, internship possibilities and networking events.

A recent study conducted by RicolLasteyrie and Associates shows that fewer than 10% of the world's top 300 companies' board members and directors are women. London School of Business & Finance has launched the new Women in Business Scholarship to provide women with leadership potential the means to succeed and become global leaders and help to remove obstacles in place. The scholarship will be awarded to women who wish to further their career prospects and who can show proof of good academic records and English Language skills.

Both overseas and home applicants will be considered for this scholarship. Candidates should be applying to start a new undergraduate or postgraduate course at London School of Business & Finance and will meet the English language requirements of their chosen programme. Applications from all subject areas will be considered and proof of sufficient funds to pay for any remaining course fees will be required.
