ESMT Berlin General Management Seminar scholarships

There is a lack of gender equality in global business. ESMT Berlin offers full and partial scholarships for women looking to advance in their career. We strongly encourage applications for the Bringing Technology to Market (in English) or the General Management Seminar (in German). 

*Allyship matters. Diversity beyond gender matters. If you are a woman and want to help underprivileged non-female leaders, please refer them to our Executive Education scholarships website, where they will find additional scholarship opportunities.
