The Scholarship
The Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University MBA Corporate Scholarship Programme is made possible through the cooperation between Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University and industry. We are grateful for the support of the participating organisations in, among other things, the MBA Corporate Scholarship Programme, and hope that each scholarship winner will benefit from not only the financial assistance the scholarship affords, but also the opportunity to gain valuable insight into the organisation they have been selected by.
Each scholarship is worth €10.000 as a tuition fee waiver and is offered to outstanding candidates interested in the industries represented by our supporting companies.
A number of companies have participated in the Corporate Scholarship Programme in the past and we thank them for their support. These are:
While the Financial Aid Office works to develop relationships with new companies as well as continue to build the relationship with the companies that have participated in the past, as with all business, it is not possible for every partner to participate in this programme each year. Particularly in these times of economic instability we are proud that a number of organisations continue to support our MBA Programmes.

Eligibility
Any MBA candidate that is offered a place on our International Full-time MBA Programme commencing in January 2011 may apply for one of the scholarships. Please note that an applicant may apply to only one of the participating companies. It is expected that an applicant will have a focus for that company due to their career plans and therefore will apply to that specific organisation.
Review Process

- What motivates you to work in the industry represented by this company, especially if this will involve a career change?
- What would you be able to contribute to this particular organisation?
- What will be the added value to your MBA and future career if you are awarded the scholarship?
Please endeavour to keep the essay between 800 and a 1000 words. Submit your essay, by email, together with the
Applicant Agreement and an electronic copy of your CV to the Scholarships Office.
Selection Process
Depending on the number of applications, a shortlist of maximum 6 candidates per company will be drawn up. The shortlisted students will be interviewed after their arrival in Rotterdam by representatives of the organisation in question or the Awards Committee. They will discuss the candidate’s suitability on the basis of the essay, CV and interview as well as the business needs of the organisation and will select a winner from the shortlist. The results of the scholarship will be communicated to all applicants shortly after the interviews have taken place.
