Scholarships and Financial Aid
ALBA aims to attract the best applicants regardless of their ability to finance their education. For this reason, ALBA offers a limited number of scholarships to applicants who have demonstrated a strong academic performance and/or an excellent professional track record. Furthermore, there is also financial aid, available to those candidates who do not have enough funds to finance their studies.
Scholarships and financial aid cover a portion of the cost of tuition.
In assessing your eligibility for scholarship or financial aid, the Admissions Committee will consider the following criteria in the given priority order:
Scholarship
Academic performance
Professional experience (if required)
Financial Aid
Financial need
Working status
All students receiving scholarship are expected to maintain a cumulative point average of at least 3.0 If a scholarship recipient's grade point average (or CI) drops below 3.0 at the end of a term, then the scholarship is discontinued for the period until it becomes 3.0 or above. In that case the student has the obligation to pay an amount corresponding to that period.
Applicants who wish to apply for scholarship or financial aid must complete the relevant form and submit it to the ALBA MSc in Finance Office along with the application form.
