Yale SOM provides a small number of partial scholarships to exceptional candidates for the MBA for Executives program. Recipients of these highly selective awards have a demonstrated track record of outstanding leadership at the intersection of business and society. Awards will be made to individuals whom the selection committee members believe will enhance the program experience through their distinctive perspectives and experiences. In addition to merit, demonstrated financial need will also play a role in determining award recipients.

To be considered for an award, applicants must submit the MBA for Executives application and complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Results must be sent directly to Yale (Yale University Code: 001426).
