The HEC Paris MBA, via the HEC Foundation, and in partnership with the Laidlaw Foundation can offer up to 10 full tuition scholarships per graduating class.
Full tuition scholarship (100%). To confirm their place in the HEC Paris MBA program, Laidlaw Scholars will need to sign the contract and pay a 5,000 EUR deposit (reimbursed upon class resumption). Recipients will also be responsible for covering their own living expenses for the duration of the program (estimated at 25,000 EUR for a 16-month period).
Only admitted candidates are eligible for this scholarship.
Recipients for the Laidlaw Scholarship are exceptional women candidates with strong leadership potential who demonstrate the character, competence, and courage to change the world.
Through the HEC Paris partnership with Laidlaw Foundation, we look to encourage exceptional women with strong leadership potential who, due to demonstrable financial constraints, might not have otherwise been able to consider or afford to pursue an MBA degree.
We seek to help build a pipeline of outstanding women from diverse socio-economic backgrounds and provide them with access to a top-tier business program with enhanced career opportunities and networks. We strive to increase the number of women with influential roles in business, leaders demonstrating ethical and exemplary leadership, who will help build a more diverse and inclusive business environment, helping to inspire and sponsor future generations.
You must submit required essays with the rest of your application to the program. Please provide answers to the following two essay questions and submit the document in PDF format along with the rest of your application. Be sure to include your full name and email address within the document:
