CEU Executive MBA Diversity Fellowship for Switzerland with support from Swiss Diversity

CEU Executive MBA Program offers a new, highly competitive, merit-based fellowship for an outstanding professional in Switzerland.

Switzerland has been a country that has welcomed and integrated generations of people from all over the world. While considerable success has been achieved in numerous areas of socio-economic life and culture, business opportunities continue to be limited to minority groups.

The winner of the Diversity scholarship will receive up to 50 percent reduction of the full CEU Executive MBA tuition of EUR 29.000. The scholarship will be awarded to a manager or entrepreneur who defied barriers and prejudices, achieving high levels of professional recognition. The winner can come from the private, not-for-profit or public sector.

Applications will be reviewed and considered on a rolling basis. The Selection Committee reserves the right to choose awardees.

About Swiss Diversity

In the beginning, it started with the belief that Switzerland could benefit from more diversity, inclusion and the Swiss Diversity Award Night to express this – this was in 2019. The idea was well-received! In 2021, in cooperation with representatives from the business world, they created the Swiss Diversity Forum – a place where ideas are being realized, how Switzerland’s variety can be lived and developed.

Swiss Diversity is a non-profit association of people with the vision to give more space to diversity and inclusion in Switzerland. People are engaged on a voluntary basis which makes it even clearer: Everybody can contribute to realize big visions. Swiss Diversity executes their implementation.
