The Global Scholars program is a need-based scholarship program for international students
Each year since 2014, a small, highly talented group of international students is awarded need-based scholarships as part of our Global Scholars program.
Students selected for the Global Scholars program will receive four-year, full-tuition scholarships. Global Scholars with greater levels of financial need will also be awarded additional grant funds, in varying amounts based on need, to help with room and board, books and supplies, health insurance, and travel expenses.

Global Scholars will benefit from special programming and support, including:
Global Scholars will meet regularly with their mentors, both individually and as a group, to explore academic and personal goals, discuss global events and other topics of interest, plan for their careers, and tap into Babson’s worldwide alumni network, which spans over 125 countries.
Being a Global Scholar has granted me access to some of the highest-quality education in the world and an entrepreneurial environment that fosters cultural exchange, intellectual growth, and personal development. The financial assistance the program offered has played an important role in enabling me to fully embrace these opportunities and push beyond my boundaries.”
Students interested in the Global Scholars program must apply for admission through either Early Decision or Regular Decision. To be considered for the Global Scholars program, students must apply for financial aid by completing the CSS PROFILE form—by November 15 for Early Decision applicants and by February 1 for Regular Decision applicants.
Admission decisions for international financial aid applicants will be made on a need-aware basis; the most highly qualified candidates from different regions around the world will be offered admission and the scholarship. Canadian citizens who apply for financial aid using the CSS PROFILE will be considered for the need-based Canadian Scholarship.
Being a Global Scholar means opportunity. It is not just an opportunity to attend college but rather an opportunity to show who I am, to show my abilities, and to see what I can achieve … I’m determined to turn some of my business ideas into reality, knowing that Babson’s entrepreneurial environment is the perfect place to make that happen. I also want to enjoy the journey, graduating from Babson with many happy memories, and with a strong academic foundation that will help me in the following years"
