Hult Global Scholarship

The Hult Global Generation Scholarship is one of the merit-based awards offered by Hult International Business School - one of the world's most internationally diverse business schools with campuses in Boston, London, Dubai, and San Francisco. This scholarship is specifically designed for incoming students who bring a unique global perspective, multicultural background, or multilingual ability to the Hult community.

Hult International Business School is accredited by AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA - the three most prestigious global business education accreditation bodies. The school consistently ranks among the top institutions worldwide for international diversity and experiential business education.

The Global Generation Scholarship recognizes students who have lived, studied, or worked across cultures, or who are fluent in multiple languages, and who demonstrate that these experiences have meaningfully shaped their worldview. This award is available to both undergraduate (BBA) and postgraduate (Master’s) applicants.

Annual and Total Award Value

The Global Generation Scholarship provides a fixed annual award. The amount remains the same every year of study, provided the recipient maintains the renewal conditions. Below are the values for the 2025–2026 intake:

Duration of the Award

• Multi-Year Renewal: The scholarship renews each year for the full duration of the program (3 or 4 years for BBA; 1 year for most Master’s programs).
• Renewal Conditions: Recipients must remain a full-time enrolled student, must not be placed on academic probation, and must have no honor code violations during the scholarship period.
• Confirmation Deadline: Any scholarship awarded must be accepted by confirming your place at Hult no later than May 1 of the intake year; otherwise, the award may be released to another student.

Type of Expense Covered

Scholarship Stacking Rules

• One Scholarship Per Student (General Rule): Students may apply for multiple merit-based scholarships but can only be awarded one, except in the case of the Academic Excellence Scholarship.
• Exception for Academic Excellence Scholarship: Students who receive the Academic Excellence Scholarship may also apply for one additional merit-based scholarship and one need-based award, but can receive only one in each category.
• Cannot Exceed 100% of Tuition: Institutional merit-based scholarships at Hult cannot be combined in a way that exceeds 100% of tuition fees.

Application Process

• Step 1: Apply for Admission First: Before applying for the Global Generation Scholarship, you must first submit your full application to a Hult program (BBA, Master’s, or MBA). Scholarship applications cannot be submitted independently.
• Step 2: Submit Scholarship Essay or Video: Once your admission application is in progress or complete, you must separately submit either a 400–500 word written essay or a 2–5 minute video to be considered for this scholarship.
• Step 3: Selection and Notification: Scholarship decisions are communicated alongside your admission decision, typically within 2 weeks of completing the full application process.
• Rolling Admissions: Hult operates on rolling admissions, meaning applications are reviewed as they come in. Applying early significantly increases your chances of receiving a scholarship, as awards are limited each intake.

Essay / Video Submission Requirements

To be considered for the Global Generation Scholarship, you must submit one of the following:

• A written essay of 400–500 words, OR
• A video of 2–5 minutes

Your submission must demonstrate your global mindset by answering one of the two following questions:

• How has your global experience or multilingualism contributed to who you are today?
• How have your multicultural experiences affected your future ambitions, and how will studying at Hult support your aspirations?

Eligibility & Document Requirements

• Global Mindset Requirement: The core eligibility criterion is demonstrating a genuine global perspective shaped by international experience, living abroad, or fluency in more than one language. You do not need to be from a specific country - this scholarship is open to all nationalities.
• Admitted or Applying to Hult: You must be an incoming undergraduate or postgraduate student applying to any Hult program. Students already enrolled are not eligible for this particular award.
• Full Admission Application: Your main student application must be submitted before the scholarship application is processed. This includes academic transcripts, language test scores, and any required essays or interviews set by the admissions team.
• English Language Proficiency: All non-native English speakers must provide valid scores from IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, or Duolingo English Test. Score requirements vary by program; check the Hult admissions page for specific minimums.

• Supporting Documents: Applicants are encouraged to include extracurricular certificates of achievement and, for BBA applicants, a recommendation from a high school counselor or college advisor.

• Non-Transferability: Hult scholarships are awarded for a specific program and campus location. They cannot be transferred to a different Hult campus or to any external institution.
• Single Award Cap: Students may apply to multiple Hult scholarship schemes, but can only hold one merit scholarship at a time (except where the Academic Excellence Scholarship exception applies, as noted above).
• Scholarship Offer Contingency: Scholarship offers are based on the original admission application. They may be contingent on the specific program, campus location, and mode of study declared at the time of application.
• Academic Probation Clause: Any student placed on academic probation during their studies will automatically lose scholarship eligibility for the following renewal period.
• Changes to Funding Sources: If a student receives funding from external scholarships, employer contributions, or government grants, Hult reserves the right to adjust institutional scholarship amounts to ensure the total does not exceed 100% of tuition.
• Hult Campuses Available: Hult operates campuses in London (UK), Boston (USA), Dubai (UAE), and San Francisco (USA). The Global Generation Scholarship is available across all campuses for eligible programs.
