INSEAD extends final MBA application deadline and reopens scholarships to support professionals navigating global uncertainty

INSEAD, The Business School for the World, today announced the extension of its final Round 4 MBA application deadline for the January 2026 intake to 26 August 2025. This decision reflects the school’s ongoing commitment to diversity and global access to education and is part of a series of steps to support talented professionals in achieving their ambitions.  

Over the past several months, INSEAD has been contacted by a growing number of accomplished professionals whose MBA plans have been disrupted. Many cited administrative delays, relocation challenges, and shifting personal or professional circumstances. 

In response, the school is taking action to ensure that talented candidates are not held back by circumstances beyond their control. Alongside the extended application deadline, INSEAD is also reopening scholarship applications for Round 4 and doubling the number of opportunities available, providing critical financial support to high-potential applicants. 

“At INSEAD, we remain deeply committed to our values of diversity and global access to education,” said Mark Stabile, Dean of Degree Programmes at INSEAD. “Over the past months, we’ve been hearing from many accomplished professionals around the world who are still finalising plans amid continued global uncertainty. By extending our final MBA application deadline and reopening scholarship applications, we’re taking extra steps to provide meaningful support. As the Business School for the World, our mission is to develop responsible leaders and support them in achieving their ambitions.”
