This endowed scholarship has been created by INSEAD alumnus Jonathan Knowles MBA’91D in honour of his parents, Oliver and June, who had a global outlook and views on diversity well ahead of their time, and helped many people with education. In line with INSEAD they also believed business could and should be a “force for good”. Created by a scientist to enable other scientists to attend INSEAD and develop their business skills, the scholarship supports applicants whose educational background and professional experience have a strong scientific focus. Scientific disciplines include physics, chemistry, biology and related fields such as medicine and veterinary medicine. Candidates with advanced degrees in mathematics will also be considered. The scholarship aims to attract scientists to the INSEAD MBA programme who will contribute to the breath of diversity in the student body thus maintaining the exceptional diversity that is the hallmark of the school.
INSEAD is all about diversity. The global INSEAD community is a unique blend of all nationalities, cultures, backgrounds, languages, religions and genders. Our goal is to provide opportunities for all, including those from the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities. We are proud to offer an INSEAD Reaching Out LGBT MBA Fellowship to encourage and help LGBT students to attend the INSEAD MBA programme. This is a competitive fellowship. In addition to a strong academic and professional background, applicants must demonstrate their capacity to be a leader for the LBGT community at INSEAD. We expect the fellowship holder to contribute actively to campus life, to the INSEAD blog and especially to lead initiatives that benefit the LGBT community. INSEAD is a part of the Reaching Out MBA (ROMBA) Fellowship scheme and INSEAD LGBT Fellows will have access to the wider ROMBA community and opportunities: Reaching Out MBA Fellowship.
This scholarship is an endowed gift to INSEAD from the Ryoichi Sasakawa Young Leaders Fellowship Fund (Sylff). The Fund was established in 1987 by the Nippon Foundation. The Sylff programme demonstrates its commitment to education through awarding fellowships to promising graduate students in the social sciences and humanities. 69 universities and consortia worldwide, including INSEAD, have received endowments of US $1 million. The Sylff programme is now building a worldwide community of young leaders made up of the Sylff Fellows at all funded institutions. By receiving this award at INSEAD, candidates automatically join the Sylff worldwide network and gain opportunity to apply for additional Sylff support programs. As a philanthropist and the founding chairman of the Nippon Foundation, Ryoichi Sasakawa articulated a philosophy that remains the driving force of the programme today. “The world is one family”, he maintained, “and all mankind are brothers and sisters”. The Sylff programme is based on these principles. By helping to create a new generation of leaders, it seeks to overcome the divisions of nationality, religion, ethnic background and politics. Sylff would like to encourage candidates of any nationality to broaden their knowledge and enhance their career opportunities through the INSEAD MBA programme. One Sylff award will be granted in each Class.
