About
The Service Stewardship Scholarship is designed for candidates who aspire to lead in hospitality, tourism, and service-focused industries. It recognises individuals with a passion for customer experience, creativity in service design, and the ability to inspire teams to deliver world-class service: those ready to shape the future of service leadership. While open to all MBA applicants, this scholarship is particularly aimed at, but not restricted to, candidates who wish to pursue our Hospitality Service Leadership 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.
