Sloan women's scholarship

Women make up a third of all Sloan Fellows and make an important contribution to the Sloan Fellowship programme and the wider London Business School community. In conjunction with Saatchi & Saatchi and Spencer Stuart, the Sloan Fellowship is delighted to offer a dedicated Sloan Fellowship Women's Scholarship.

The scholarship awards one fully funded place on the Sloan Fellowship MSc to the woman candidate who best exemplifies the characteristics of business leadership. This is in addition to a programme of career mentoring with Spencer Stuart, the worldwide executive search consultants.

In a survey of more than 250 female business leaders, the key qualities considered most needed by successful women leaders were:

• resilience
• vision
• ability to motivate and inspire
• passion
• self-confidence
• communication skills
