Saïd Business School and Global Shapers Community Create New Scholarships
Saïd Business School and The Global Shapers Community, an initiative of the World Economic Forum, have announced two new scholarships for Global Shapers to join the Oxford MBA programme.
The Global Shapers Community is a network of Hubs developed and led by young people, between the ages of 20 to 29, who are selected as being exceptional in their drive to make a contribution to their communities. Over 4,500 young people who have been selected as Global Shapers will be encouraged to apply for two new dedicated scholarships for the one-year Oxford MBA programme at Saïd Business School.
Nat Ware, a Global Shaper from the Oxford Hub who graduated from the Oxford MBA in 2013, is founder of 180 Degrees Consulting, a student consultancy that aims to improve the effectiveness of non-profits and social enterprises so they can have a greater social impact. “The key things I’ve got out of the MBA are confidence and ambition. I’m confident pitching to investors, negotiating, and have conviction in the merits of my own ideas,” he says.
As part of a core business education, Global Shapers will gain the technical knowledge needed to launch, grow and run innovative organisations under conditions of complexity and uncertainty; and combine this with the personal skills to influence and inspire others. In particular, they will have the opportunity to work in their own or other Global Shaper Hubs on innovation or growth projects to benefit local communities.
