Investing in Your Future
An INSEAD GEMBA yields a lifetime of dividends, both professionally and personally. Pursuing an GEMBA however, is a serious commitment of time and money—an investment that needs to be carefully considered and planned for by applicants.
To understand the financial obligations that are required for you to attend the INSEAD GEMBA Programme, check our Cost & Fees for the section you are considering. It is important to consider your financing and funding options early on during the application process, which could be in the form of savings, loans or scholarships. You may also consider the support of your employer, which is essential to the success in the programme. You can begin by seeing if you are eligible to apply for any of the scholarships or loans that are listed on our website.
Though the responsibility of funding your year at INSEAD ultimately lies with you, the GEMBA Financial Aid Office can assist you in planning your financing for the INSEAD GEMBA programme.
