ALBA Graduate Business School aims to attract the best applicants regardless of their ability to finance their education. For this reason, ALBA offers a number of scholarships to applicants who have demonstrated a strong academic performance. Furthermore, there is also financial aid, available to worthy candidates on the basis of financial need.
Scholarships are based on academic excellence, they are partial and are awarded on the basis of the following criteria:
- Excellent academic record
- High GMAT scores (at least 650 and above). GMAT scores are not applicable for the MSc in Strategic HRM and the MSc in Business for Lawyers programs.
Financial aid covers part of the total fees. Candidates in financial need may apply for the Financial Aid program by providing the following information:
- Tax return (personal + family)
- Personal and social situation (e.g. large family, divorced, widowed, etc.)
There are certain rules that apply for the recipients of scholarships or financial aid:
- Candidates who have a conditional offer by ALBA may apply for scholarship or financial aid program. Candidates are expected to fulfill the conditions of acceptance before the start of classes. Candidates may be allowed to register for classes, however, any financial aid or scholarship kicks in as soon as the conditions for acceptance are met. In the meantime, the student pays by him/herself and can only register for part of the normal teaching load.
- All students receiving scholarships on the basis of academic excellence are expected to maintain a Cumulative Index (CI) of 3.0 or above. If the CI of a scholarship recipient drops below 3.0 at the end of a term, the scholarship will be discontinued until such time as the term Grade Point Average (GPA) or the CI rises to 3.0 or above. In such cases, the student will become personally liable for payment of tuition fees corresponding to the teaching periods (terms) for which both the term GPA and the CI have been below 3.0. This rule does not apply to the first teaching period of the Program.
- Fees paid are non-refundable.
Applicants who wish to apply for scholarship or financial aid must complete the relevant form which can be found at each program's scholarship section and submit it to the respective Program Office along with the application form.
