All applicants admitted into the HEC Paris MBA will have the opportunity to apply for scholarships. HEC is able to offer it’s students over €1,000,000 in aid every year thanks to the work and donations of the HEC Foundation.

You will receive guidance on how to apply for scholarships from your Admissions Officer upon admittance into the program. Their scholarships are highly competitive, and they fall into various categories: merit-based or criteria-based, as in the case of the Forté Scholarship.—

All scholarship applications are initially completed online. Depending on the type of scholarship, applicants may be required to attend an interview and submit an essay. Applicants sponsored for more than 50% of their tuition fees are not eligible to apply for scholarships. Please note that in the case of a Double Degree, the amount awarded will be calculated on a pro-rata (prorated) basis.

All admissions decisions are made independently of an applicant’s financial situation. Awarded scholarships will be deducted from the last tuition payment. In addition, HEC Paris scholarships only cover tuition fees for courses taken on the HEC Paris campus.

Tips for recommendation letters

• Who can give a recommendation: You will have to provide details of one recommender who can be your reporting manager/ previous manager/ senior colleague/ current client/ previous client/ business partner/ supplier/ auditor etc.
• It should not be a bunch of adjectives. The recommender should add specific instances/examples of your professional work together.
• Academic recommendations ( from professors/teachers etc) are not valid.
• The recommender should send the recommendation from the official email id only. If the recommender does not have an official id – then a proof that you reported / or was supervised by this person should be attached.
• Go by the quality of the evaluation rather than the seniority of the designation
