These scholarships will help those who are set back by financial difficulties, to realise their dream of the INSEAD MBA.  Our goal is to ensure that talented individuals are not limited by financial constraints to embark on the INSEAD MBA.  INSEAD alumni donors helped generously to bring numerous funds to assist students who justify having difficulties to secure the full funding required for the MBA Programme.
