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: Fulbright Commission
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.
