China Europe International Business School (CEIBS), ranked the #1 business school in Asia by the Financial Times of MBA programmes for eight consecutive years, has officially commenced the admissions process for its MBA Class of 2027, which will begin in August 2025 in Shanghai. 

As part of its commitment to supporting high-potential students who demonstrate both academic excellence and leadership qualities, CEIBS is offering up to RMB 12 million in scholarships for the 2024-2025 admissions cycle. These scholarships will be awarded to 50% of incoming students, covering between 20% and 70% of tuition fees.

Merit-based scholarships – No additional application required

All applicants admitted to the CEIBS MBA programme will automatically be considered for scholarships. The CEIBS Scholarship Evaluation Committee will assess each candidate’s academic and professional background, personal achievements, interview performance, and overall leadership potential. 

In addition to these scholarships, CEIBS also offers conditional scholarships and grants. Applicants who meet standardised criteria for professional experience and interview performance may qualify for additional financial support.
