CIMBA Scholarships
Depending on your citizenship, you may be eligible for a merit- or need-based scholarship to assist with your tuition cost. Scholarships are assigned on a competitive basis to the best students after an offer of admission has been made. Scholarships result in a deduction from your MBA tuition costs and do not involve a disbursement of money. They also cannot be used to cover living expenses.
To apply for the scholarships (unless otherwise noted), please submit the scholarship application form and the requested materials. If you are applying for more than one scholarship, you only need to submit one application but you must still submit all required supporting documents. We encourage you to apply for scholarships as early as possible. Scholarships are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis and are reviewed in batches on the following dates. To see if you are eligible for a scholarship, please contact mba@cimbaitaly.com for further details.
