As the Scholars & Donors is a by-invitation event and has limited seating capacity, we ask you to please let us know as soon as possible if your plans change and you cannot attend the event.

 

For over sixty years, INSEAD has been dedicated to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion, attracting top future leaders from around the world. Our MBA classes showcase more than 90 nationalities annually, and scholarships are vital in maintaining this distinct characteristic of our institution.

Giving to an INSEAD scholarship doesn't just impact a student's life—it also secures INSEAD's ability to draw the best and most diverse talents worldwide. These scholarships serve as the cornerstone of our mission, ensuring that the doors of opportunity swing wide open for individuals from all walks of life. Every contribution to an INSEAD scholarship reverberates far beyond a mere financial aid—it ignites a chain reaction of potential.

The Scholars and Donors Dinner has become the highlight of our calendar, bringing together our exceptional community of donors with our remarkable scholarship recipients. This annual event serves as a testament to the power of collective goodwill, a night where stories intertwine, and aspirations align.
