Scholarships in Spain

A lot of people do not really consider Spain when considering education but two of the top 11 Business Schools in the world are in Spain – IE and IESE. The MBA Programmes at these schools are taught in English. However, you will need the Spanish Language to communicate with the locals within Spain especially if you live outside Madrid and Barcelona.

Spain is a beautiful place. It has a lot of medieval cities, a rich culture and you should try the tapas if you ever visit. So, back to the main topic, the Government sponsored scholarship would be closing on January 14, 2009, so you should apply for it as soon as you can even if you don’t have admission yet, just fill in the school that you think you’ll most likely attend. They are very strict with deadlines, so, I advice you apply as soon as possible. Of course, you should apply to these schools and ensure that your admission coincides with the scholarship award period

The link to the site is shown below, however; take a look at the following recommendations before you start filling the form
