Judge Business School scholarships and bursaries

Judge Business School Bursaries

The School offers needs-based bursaries that vary in value from £5,000 and £15,000 based on individual circumstance. There is no need to apply for these MBA bursaries; all qualifying candidates who are offered a place on the Cambridge MBA programme will be contacted directly by MBA Admissions. Candidates who apply early in the admissions round are more likely to receive this award.
