SCHOLARSHIPS

IMD’s combination of relevance and rigor is part of the reason why companies recruit from IMD and why the MBA program consistently ranks among the best in the world. The organization welcomed an international and diverse group of recruiters for its Global Talent Forum and recruiting activities over a twelve day period in September 2019.

In order to facilitate access from a truly diverse group of future leaders, scholarships worth more than one million Swiss francs were awarded to 37 percent of the MBA class. The Lausanne Alumni Club awarded its first Merit Scholarship for 50,000 Swiss francs to MBA 2020 participant Shweta Mukesh, Founder of KidsWhoKode and VP of Solutioning and International Business at Belong.
