Forte Fellowships for Women

The Forte Fellowships for Women are offered by Imperial Business School in partnership with the Forté Foundation, a non-profit organisation dedicated to advancing women's leadership in business through education. These fellowships provide financial support of up to 50% of tuition fees for exceptional female candidates joining the Full-Time MBA programme. The fellowships are designed to support women who demonstrate a track record of leadership in their field and commitment to the Forté mission of launching women into fulfilling, significant careers through access to business education. In addition to financial support, Forté Fellows gain access to exclusive benefits from the Forté Foundation, including participation in their annual conference, premium lifetime membership, and dedicated networking opportunities. Imperial also provides a travel stipend for fellows to attend the Forté Annual Conference held in Denver, USA, in June 2025. To be considered, female applicants must demonstrate leadership excellence, commitment to advancing women in business, a high and well-balanced GMAT or GRE score, and strong professional references. The strength of the application, interview performance, and professional experience are also key considerations. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the admissions cycle. Candidates who submit their Full-Time MBA application in admission rounds one or two and receive an offer are eligible to apply for this scholarship through a video assessment process.
