Burgundy School of Business runs different fundraising projects with profit and non-profit organisations to further support international students in their studies at BSB. For the September 2023 intake, BSB is offering 97 merit-based scholarships covering up to 50% of the tuition fees on the 1st year of studies for talented international students holding an international diploma.
Good news! There is no separate scholarship application process. All students admitted to BSB will be considered for a scholarship and if eligible, the amount will automatically be deducted from their tuition.
When we award merit-based scholarships, we evaluate students based on the following criteria:
The sooner you apply, the greater your chances.
80% of the scholarships will be distributed proportionately from the 15th of December 2022 to the 15th of April 2023 throughout a monthly assessment made by International Development Division. The residual 20% will be allocated between the 15th of April to the 15th of June on a rolling basis.

If the deposit is not paid in time, then BSB reserves the right to revoke the scholarship.
