Scholarship Overview

 

INSEAD – Singapore provides this scholarship. It is a tradition at INSEAD that each MBA Class fundraises to become the invisible hands to admitted candidates with financial burdens. The INSEAD Robin Hood MBA Scholarship Fund was created to provide financial support from peers to a deserving MBA student in each Class. The award is granted to a candidate who demonstrates critical difficulty in raising sufficient funds for the year at INSEAD. Each recipient must take an active part in their own class on-campus fundraising appeal and to drive the initiative amongst his/her own classmates. As a recipient of the Robin Hood Scholarship, you will inspire others through a collective effort in support of scholarships. The Robin Hood Committee members of each Class participate generously of their time to achieve new giving records each year on campus.
