Gracias al Plan Ejecutivo de Cooperación e Intercambio Educativos entre el Ministerio de Educación de la República Popular China y el Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte del Reino de España, ya hay un programa de becas que ayuda a alumnos españoles que quieren irse a estudiar en China, tanto como alumnos chinos que quieren venirse a estudiar en España.

El objetivo de este programa de cooperación es fomentar los intercambios educativos para promover el desarrollo económico y el progreso social tanto de China como de España.

If you have gained admissions to an IE master program and are looking for student loan options in Taiwan then it may be worth checking out the loans offered by the Department of Education, Taipei City Government.

For more information, see the Taipei City Government link here (information only available in Mandarine).

Loan applications must be processed directly with the lending authority.

The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, through its Student Financial Assistance Agency, offers several funding options for all levels of education.  To see the scholarship options for higher level studies, see here.

Of special interest are the following scholarships:

1) Sir Robert Black Trust Fund – Scholarships
2) Sir Edward Youde Memorial Fund Scholarship Schemes

As these scholarships are externally funded, please contact the scholarship-awarding organizations directly as IE does not participate in the selection of scholarship recipients.

In a recent interview with First Financial Daily, both Julian Trigo – Director of Admissions at IE Business School, and Joël McConnell – Director of Financial Aid at IE, talked about evolving patterns in applicaitons for MBA programs offered by top European business schools.  In the article the effect of the financial situation in Europe on MBA applications is discussed, and the new realities applicants are facing, with regards to program funding, are also discussed.

“己身处的国家正值危机，这多少让人感到沮丧，更何况当这危机真实地影响到自己的生活，负面的情绪恐怕更为强烈。

然而变化也来得很快。先是自己的妻子失业，然后Antonio又收到公司的通知：公司取消了员工的助学经济补助。Antonio的财务状况一下子变得紧张，既要维系整个家庭的开销，又要承担高昂的学费，Antonio犹豫之后决定放弃申请MBA。….”

Chinese women are now leading the way, with regards to completing their master studies outside China, at the world’s top institutions (see the recent BusinessWeek article on the subject here) and many of these top candidates need financial assistance to access top master degree programs.  While IE has been active in China for many years, and we also have a representative office in Shanghai (contact: china @ ie.edu), we are actively supporting top candidates via Financial Aid as well.

To learn more about the awards, see here.  Keep in mind that to apply for these awards you must have previously been admitted to a qualifying master program.
