About Scholarships
The HEC Paris Executive MBA program is committed to enrolling top-talent worldwide from across industries. We offer several merit-based scholarship opportunities to admitted candidates which you may explore further below. No separate application is required. There is a section of the application wherein you may provide an optional short essay for the Scholarship Jury to consider.
All decisions concerning admission and scholarships are made independently of an applicant's financial situation. There are many ways in which our students fund the EMBA program, which may include scholarships, company support, personal savings, government funding, and more.
Awarded scholarships will be deducted from the last tuition payment. Scholarships can represent up to 10 percent of tuition fees. Scholarships do not apply for students who are sponsored for 50% or more of their tuition fees.
If you are a scholarship recipient, you will be informed by an Admissions Officer in the days following your admission decision. Scholarships are available throughout the year during each cycle of admission, so even if you apply close to the start of an intake, there will still be scholarships available.
If you would like to learn more about your potential eligibility for scholarships, we invite you to contact the Marketing and Recruitment Manager who can share further details.
