The Economist has launched its Spring 2016 Brightest Minds MBA Scholarship Contest, with all prospective MBA and EMBA students welcome to enter.
The competition aims to find one of the world’s “Brightest Minds” who seeks to attend business school, and help fund his or her education. The title and $25,000 to attend one of the partner business schools, will be awarded to the highest scorer on Economist GMAT Tutor’s online simulated GMAT exam, a test required by the majority of business schools around the world.
The test itself will include the completion of a 75-minute Verbal section and a 75-minute Quant section.
The winner then have the option to put their $25,000 scholarship towards attending one of the top business schools around the world, including Australia’s University of Technology Sydney Business School.
The Autumn 2015 contest winner, America’s Chris Brennan, beat more than 6,000 other contest entrants around the world by scoring highest on Economist GMAT Tutor’s simulation test. The New Jersey-based manager at PricewaterhouseCoopers also penned the most compelling tie-breaker essay, defeating the 120 other finalists.
