Leadership Scholarship (MBA)

The Leadership Scholarship (MBA) is a tuition fee scholarship established by the University of Sydney Business School in 2015 to promote academic excellence in the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program. This scholarship is specifically designed for applicants of the UN Women MBA Scholarship who are domestic students eligible for admission into the Part-time MBA program. The scholarship covers academic tuition fees for two units of study (12 credit points) in the MBA program, with one unit covered in the recipient's first semester and the other in their second semester. The scholarship is awarded based on eligibility for the MBA program, academic merit, curriculum vitae, and a personal statement demonstrating leadership experience and potential, commitment to enhancing women's leadership, interest in international relations, gender and development, and passion for using business skills to drive social change. Recipients must maintain a minimum Semester Average Mark (SAM) of 65 each semester to continue receiving the scholarship. Current MBA students, employees of the University of Sydney, and employers of UN Women Australia are not eligible to apply.
