International Institute for Management Development (IMD), a non-profit business school located in Lausanne, Switzerland, seeks applications aimed at encouraging talented women executives to apply for its annual Nestlé Scholarship, which offers CHF 25,000 towards the cost of the school’s prestigious MBA program.
The Nestlé MBA Scholarship was established in 1996 after a team of women MBAs from the class of 1995 completed a project called “Changing the shape of business” and then Nestlé gladly agreed to
The scholarship is open to accepted women candidates from around the globe (employees of Nestlé and its subsidiaries are not eligible) and preference is given to women who come from the developing world. IMD is determined to maximize the number of eligible women who benefit from its various financial aid packages, so judges from IMD and Nestlé, concentrate on candidates who will not be receiving other scholarships. Candidates should submit a 750-word essay discussing the topic: “Does diversity in management impact the bottom line? If so, how?”
Applicants must have been accepted into the IMD MBA program prior to their application.
The scholarship applications are essay based, with winning essays typically including the following features:
– Relevance to the essay title
– Organization and structure
– Fully developed arguments
– Persuasiveness
– Personal element and/or passion
Last date for submitting the entries is September 30, 2011
