Exceptional women applicants with leadership potential targeting Oxford Said School of Business, London Business School, and Columbia Business School MBA programs should consider the Laidlaw Scholarships.
The scholarship’s objective is to bridge the gap in women leaders at C-Suites and boardrooms worldwide. The program has assisted over 300 women in earning their MBA from Columbia Business School. The scholarships at London Business School and Oxford Said Business School will consist of full and half scholarships.
The program is part of a larger initiative that offers several opportunities for promoting affordable education, such as Laidlaw Schools Trust for growing multi-academy trust based in North East England; Undergraduate Leadership and Research Programme, which invests in highly talented and motivated undergraduates, giving them the knowledge, skills, and experience to become active global citizens and future leaders. Finally, the Women's Business Education Scholarship that invests in women MBAs.
The Laidlaw Foundation announced on March 9, 2020, that it would donate £1.35 million to fund full and half scholarships for women at Oxford Said Business School.
The scholarships are intended to encourage exceptional women with clear leadership potential to enroll in the MBA program. The total gift will allow Oxford Said to build on its current position as Europe's most gender-balanced MBA (44% female) and achieve full gender parity in the near future.
From 2019 to 2022, the Laidlaw Women's Leadership Fund at London Business School have supported 20 outstanding female scholars per year in the full-time MBA, Executive MBA, and master’s in management programs. The program provides both full and half scholarships.
Outstanding women who demonstrate economic need, true leadership potential, and exceptional academic merit should apply directly to Said Business School or London Business School to be considered for the Laidlaw scholarship program. The scholarship program no longer accepts applications for scholarships at Columbia Business School.
Applicants must apply for their intended program and be granted admission separately to the scholarship application.
