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 British 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 all British students from both
public and private sector backgrounds. Download an
application form.
Applicants may wish to note the following:
|
•
|
Prospective British candidates should have applied to HBS
for a place on the MBA course in one of the first two admissions rounds
(October or January). Candidates
for the March admissions round will not be eligible.
|
|
•
|
They should then apply to the Fulbright Commission as soon
as possible. Applications to the Fulbright Commission will be accepted
from candidates who do not yet know the outcome of their application to
HBS, although scholarships will be awarded only to candidates with
accepted places at HBS. Eligible candidates may be asked to attend an
interview with the Trustees of the British Friends in May.
