Oxford Pershing Square Graduate Scholarships 2026 – Fully Funded Dual‑Master’s & MBA Fellowship

The Oxford Pershing Square Graduate Scholarships, funded by the Pershing Square Foundation and administered through Oxford’s Saïd Business School, fully support up to five outstanding individuals annually to pursue the 1+1 MBA programme—a two-year integrated Master’s plus MBA at the University of Oxford.(Saïd Business School)

 What It Covers

Selected scholars benefit from:

• Full tuition fees for both the academic Master’s and the MBA year
• A living stipend of at least £19,237–20,780/year
• Access to mentorship, leadership development, and a global alumni network
• Invitation to the Pershing Square Spring Trek to New York, workshops, and exclusive events
• Integration into Oxford’s academic and community life from the start

 Eligibility & Selection Criteria

To be eligible, applicants must:

• Be admitted to both a 1+1 MBA partnering Master’s programme and the full-time Oxford MBA (waitlisted candidates not eligible)
• Demonstrate academic excellence through GPA, GMAT/GRE, awards/prizes
• Exhibit leadership potential, strong character, and a commitment to solving global challenges
• Present a clear vision for using the 1+1 MBA to deliver scalable social impact

 How to Apply

1. Submit applications to both your chosen Master’s programme (by December 2025/January 2026) and the Oxford 1+1 MBA (deadline: January 7, 2026)
2. In the MBA application’s “Funding” section, include a 500‑word Pershing Square essay responding to:
   “How do you intend to change the world, and what does this tell us about you as a person?”
3. Shortlisted candidates are interviewed in April–May 2026, and final decisions communicated by spring 2026

 Why It Stands Out

• Recognizes exceptional international leaders committed to positive social transformation
• Offers a unique dual degree experience combining subject depth and business leadership
• Provides full financial freedom, professional mentorship, and global visibility
• Integrates scholars into an elite community of Oxford and Pershing Square Change-Makers
