We accept applications for distance learning MBA scholarships all year round. In order for your application to be assessed in the next round, we must receive it by the deadline of 30th September 2010.

Edinburgh Business School (EBS) is working with Canon Collins Trust to select applicants for the EBS Distance Learning MBA Scholarship. Unlike our other scholarship schemes, this is open to applicants from all over sub-Saharan Africa.

Canon Collins Trust will select disadvantaged individuals who have the motivation and capacity to undertake the Distance Learning MBA, but who face funding difficulties. The aim of the Scholarship Programme is to support life long learning amongst communities where it will make a positive contribution towards their development, and give individuals valuable post-graduate education which will enhance their day to day work.

The internationally regarded EBS is providing access to its innovative and flexible distance learning programme using Canon Collins Trust as an experienced partner in the selection and short listing of deserving eligible candidates. Successful candidates will be already in work, or self-employed, and at a point in their life and career where this MBA will make maximum impact for themselves and their community, although they may otherwise have been unable to undertake it due to the lack of funds. The impact of the MBA on their lives and that of their community will be crucial in determining the outcome of their application.
