Further your career with our 50% MBA Scholarships for Women.

Across Australia, women are under-represented in MBA courses, and they make up just 30% of the total student cohort. Lifestyle commitments, family responsibilities and socio-economic issues often prevent women from commencing and completing an MBA.

To encourage access and limit barriers to entry, Deakin Business School, in partnership with corporate sponsors and philanthropists, will be providing ten co-funded gender equity scholarships, offering a 50% reduction on course fees. Commencing in 2017, and for the duration of five years, ten students each year will have access to the fee reduction for the full duration of their course*. 

MBA Access for Women Scholarships are for women in not-for-profits, STEMM industries, SME and self-employment who are experiencing financial or personal hardship or a long-term medical condition. The scholarship is open to female students commencing in the Master of Business Administration.
