APPLYING FOR A
BRITISH FRIENDS/FULBRIGHT SCHOLARSHIP
The British
Friends of Harvard Business was set up to offer financial help to able, but
financially needy students wishing to attend Harvard Business School.
Candidates for joint degrees with
the Harvard Kennedy School
are also eligible to apply. The
British Friends believe that there are other sources of financial aid that
students can apply to for second year funding. See the
sources of financial aid document.
The
Scholarships are administered through the highly prestigious Fulbright
Commission.
Applications
are warmly welcomed from both public and private sector backgrounds.
