The Centre provides channels of knowledge exchange between India and its global partners by effective integration of research, education, and practice. In celebration of this alliance, Imperial College Business School is delighted to offer five Rajiv Gandhi scholarships for the Imperial MBA commencing in October 2010. These prestigious scholarships will be awarded to Indian full-time MBA candidates with outstanding potential from the following four sectors:

1. Digital Economy
2. Energy and Environment
3. Health and Healthcare
4. Urban Infrastructure.

To apply for a scholarship you must have an offer of a place on the Imperial MBA and a GMAT score of 700 (or above). You should also be an Indian citizen, non-UK resident and able to convince us that:
