Skoll MBAScholarship 2022 in the UK | Fully Funded | Study in UK
The Skoll
Scholarship provides full funding plus a living stipend to complete an MBA at
the University of Oxford's Saïd Business School for social entrepreneurs
worldwide.
The Skoll
Scholarship is a competitive scholarship for incoming MBA students to Saïd Business School,
University of Oxford, who pursue entrepreneurial solutions for urgent
social and environmental challenges. The Scholarship covers the full course
fees for the MBA programme, as well as partial living expenses.
The Skoll
Scholarship provides funding for entrepreneurs who have set up or have been
working in entrepreneurial initiatives with a social purpose or who have
pursued an impact career, and who wish to improve their knowledge of
market-oriented practices so they can be more effective in their subsequent
social change pursuits.

community, a group of leaders who are positively impacting the world through
innovation and systems change, as well as exclusive opportunities to meet with
world-renowned entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and investors.
The
Scholarship is given in recognition that the MBA may represent a significant
financial burden, particularly for those who have chosen to work in the social
impact/innovation space rather than the purely commercial or public sectors.
