Executive MBA Scholarship Rules and Eligibility

Scholarship support for the Executive MBA program is funded by the Adelaide Business School across a range of categories to ensure our program is accessible to all candidates who have the capability and drive to undertake MBA studies.

• The Online MBA, MBA and MBA (International) are excluded from these scholarships.
• Scholarship applications must be submitted by the application deadline of the trimester an applicant is applying for entry into the Executive MBA program.
