Scholarship and Funding Opportunities
The IAEBM Foundation was founded in 1999. As part of the entire organization’s strategic mission, the IAEBM Foundation has built and maintained strong partnerships with industry leaders, philanthropic donors, and government agencies to secure scholarships and funding opportunities for our students. These financial resources are essential to helping students access high-quality education in business and management, and they play a vital role in enabling IAEBM to fulfill its educational mission and long-term strategic goals.
The availability and coverage of funding opportunities vary across our programs. This is due, in part, to specific donor preferences regarding how funds should be allocated, as well as the IAEBM Academic Board’s internal priorities in distributing scholarships among a broad pool of applicants. Generally, programs designed for undergraduate students in the early or developmental stages of their studies—such as CEFS and select JCMP programs—are more likely to receive direct funding support.
It should also be noted that the IAEBM Foundation is dedicated to providing scholarships and financial aid to students, and its funding is entirely separate from IAEBM’s general operating budget. We kindly ask corporate partners and individual donors to clearly distinguish between the two when making contributions. For more details or information on tax-deductible donations, please contact us directly.
For detailed information about funding availability, we encourage applicants to contact the enrollment office or program advisors of the specific certificate program they are interested in.
Important Notice and Updates – April 2025:
In light of recent turbulence in global financial markets, we understand that many of our students, academic fellows, and contractors may have concerns regarding the sustainability of IAEBM’s scholarships and funding resources. We want to assure the entire IAEBM community that our financial position remains strong, and our current funding commitments—for both student support and institutional projects—are fully secured through at least the 2027–2028 fiscal year and beyond.
This financial stability is largely due to a strategic shift approved by the Academic Board in Fall 2024. Since then, the IAEBM Foundation has adopted a protective investment approach. As a result, the impact of recent market volatility on our financial sustainability has been moderate and well-managed.
Looking ahead, IAEBM remains confident in its ability to attract diverse sources of funding and to continue offering high-quality, accessible business education. Our commitment to supporting students and advancing our institutional mission remains as strong as ever.
Important Notice and Updates – February 2025:
In response to recent political uncertainties at the U.S. federal government level, some of our funding partnerships with U.S. departments and academic institutions have been affected, and certain funding streams may be terminated earlier than originally anticipated. Following a comprehensive internal assessment, IAEBM has determined that the overall impact on our students and programs remains manageable and under control.
Importantly, students who have already completed the registration process should not experience any material disruption to their study plans or curriculum. For those students and academic fellows currently receiving funding support linked to U.S. federal sources—particularly within the JCMP and ICCs programs—we encourage you to contact your assigned Teaching Assistants or program advisors at IAEBM if you have concerns or require additional assistance.
We remain committed to supporting our students through this period of change and will continue to monitor the situation closely.
