Benefits of University of Oxford Masters Scholarship
The Skoll scholarship provides funding for entrepreneurs who have started or have been involved in business ventures with a social mission or who have chosen an impact career and who wish to increase their understanding of market-oriented procedures in order to be more successful in their upcoming efforts to effect social change.
The scholarship offers privileged opportunities to network with well-known businesspeople, thought leaders, and investors as well as access to the Skoll Scholar community, a group of leaders who are positively influencing the world via innovation and system change.
The Scholarship is given in recognition that the MBA may represent a significant financial burden, particularly for those who have chosen to work in the social impact/innovation space rather than the purely commercial or public sectors.
