Support the Entrepreneurial Spirit Scholarship
The Entrepreneurial Spirit Scholarship is a three-year scholar- and mentorship offered to incoming first-year students starting the Bachelor of Science in International Business Administration (IBA) at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. It supports students with an entrepreneurial drive, who demonstrably benefit from financial support.
The Entrepreneurial Spirit Scholarship initiative was launched by IBA alumni to support incoming students financially and through mentorship. Recipients would otherwise not be able to fully participate in the program due to financial constraints. The initiative is motivated by the invaluable experience gained by donors and mentors throughout the programme – both academically and with regards to the expansive international network they have built from it. The initiative receives financial and mentoring support from ten alumni, a group which is expanded annually.
Entrepreneurial Spirit Scholarship recipients receive mentorship from motivated and successful IBA alumni throughout the three-year duration of their studies. Besides mentoring, the scholarship covers the statutory tuition fee of the programme as well as a stipend for yearly book fees. The recipients of the scholarship are encouraged to act as ambassadors of the scholarship and the IBA programme. Mentorship has resulted in internship, job, and volunteer opportunities worldwide and has supported the brightest young minds in achieving their goals and thinking beyond their studies.
