MBA Full Ride Scholarship & Acumen Fellowship

Two great opportunities for social leaders have deadlines next month. As a first-year participant in both programmes, I can honestly say that they are life changing-- thrilling even.

MBA Scholarship for Social Entrpreneurs
Each year, the Skoll Centre for Social Entrepreneurship awards five full scholarships to individuals who wish to enter the one year full-time Oxford MBA programme. To qualify, you need a proven track record in social entrepreneurship and a clear vision for the impact the MBA can make to society. The deadline for the second round of admissions is the 12 January, 2007. Comprehensive admissions information can be found at:
