Every
year, the Pershing Square Foundation awards up to five scholarships to support
outstanding students on the 1+1 MBA. Pershing Square Scholars are exceptional
individuals who can demonstrate the potential and commitment to finding
scalable and sustainable solutions to world-scale social challenges. The
scholarship is available to students pursuing any of the partnering Master’s
degrees in combination with the MBA.
Established
in 2014, the Oxford Pershing Square Scholarship provides funding for tuition, college
fees and a contribution towards living expenses for the MBA year of the 1+1
MBA. Pershing Square Scholars also benefit from opportunities for mentorship
and networking with inspirational individuals and organisations that are part
of the Pershing Square Foundation’s community. Scholars become integrated into
Saïd Business School’s community as soon as they begin their Master’s degree by
attending receptions and meetings with our Dean, faculty and other MBA
scholars. They can access and ultilise both their department and Oxford Saïd’s
resources and networks throughout both years of their study. Pershing Square
Scholars are also invited every spring to take a ‘trek’ to New York City hosted
by the Pershing Square Foundation, during which they participate in meetings
and workshops with leading innovators and change makers.
