About

The University of Surrey is located in the hometown of Lewis Carroll, the celebrated author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Carroll’s legacy of imagination, curiosity, and daring to see the world differently inspires entrepreneurial thinking. This Scholarship is designed for candidates who share this spirit: those who challenge assumptions, think creatively, and have the determination to turn bold ideas into thriving ventures. While open to all MBA applicants, this scholarship is particularly aimed at, but not restricted to, candidates who wish to pursue our Entrepreneurship Pathway.

This is a partial scholarship that covers 10–50% of tuition fees, depending on the applicant’s profile and interview performance. Scholarships are awarded on a rolling basis, so candidates who apply early in the admissions round have a greater chance of receiving an award. We do not charge for applications to the scholarship or the programme.
