Scholarships & Early Bird Bonus

Overview of current scholarship & early bird options

As one of the leading providers of executive education in Europe, the WU Executive Academy supports high potentials and managers to meet their educational and career goals by offering partial scholarships for its executive education programs. 

Early Bird Bonus

The WU Executive Academy is granting early bird discounts for applications, handed in before a certain deadline. The early bird bonus cannot be accumulated with other discounts or scholarships. 

Scholarships

Who are the scholarships for?

The scholarships are awarded on a case-by-case basis. The admission committee looks at the situation of each accepted student applying for a scholarship and, depending on each candidate’s personal circumstances, decides if a scholarship will be awarded and what percentage of reduction will be granted.

Who is eligible for scholarships?

The committee will evaluate: performance in admission interview, potential contribution to peer-learning in class, leadership potential, analytical skills, career goals and motivation, diversity and a strong emphasis on your financial situation.

In addition to the regular application documents, you are required to provide a proof of salary (salary slip, annual income statement or a letter from your employer) and argue your case in your motivation letter. If you have exceptional circumstances (care of a family member, medical expenses, etc.), provide relevant documentation.

Participants need to be self-funded or partially sponsored to a maximum of 50%. Additional eligibility criteria for each scholarship can be found below.
