Each week, we collect all the MBA news that’s fit to print and provide a quick overview of the latest updates from top business schools around the world. Here’s your MBA News You Need digest for the week of July 15, 2019. London Business School Announces New Full-Time MBA Scholarships Basant Kumar Birla, eponym of the BK Birla Scholars Program Kumar Mangalam Birla, Aditya Birla Group chairman and London Business School alumnus, has gifted his alma mater with a £15 million endowment, the largest endowed scholarship gift to a European business school. The program recognizes high-achieving MBAs who demonstrate leadership potential and honors the legacy of celebrated industrialist, philanthropist, and pioneer Basant Kumar (BK) Birla (1921–2019), who viewed higher education as a fundamental right for everyone.  The eponymous BK Birla Scholars Program will fund 10 full scholarships for five full-time MBA students from India and five from the rest of the world.  To be eligible, students must rank in the top five percent of the class, beginning with the cohort starting in the Fall of 2019. “It is an incredible gift to be able to honor B.K. Birla’s memory with this prestigious scholars program,” said François Ortalo-Magné, Dean of LBS. Read more

For this installment in our ongoing series, MBA Admissions Brief, we turn to the admissions office of the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College.  Luke Anthony Peña has been the Executive Director of Admissions and Financial Aid there for a few years now, but still vividly remembers the highs and lows of applying to business school 10 years ago. He cares deeply about reducing stress and anxiety for business school applicants, and regularly provides updates for applicants on the Tuck360 blog as part of his teams’ commitment to transparency and accessibility.  Read on for his insights into the Tuck admissions process and how you can best prepare to apply. Luke Peña, Executive Director of Admissions and Financial Aid, Tuck School of Business What would you say to someone who’s applying next fall and just getting started in the MBA application process now? First and foremost, congratulations!  You’ve taken the important first steps towards a life-changing experience that can accelerate your career and transform you as a leader.  Second, take a deep breath, envision your path ahead, and build a thoughtful application plan.  The application process can feel daunting and overwhelming—I vividly remember what it’s like to apply—and your physical, mental, and emotional self-care will be essential for success.  Finally, assemble your support squad.  While my colleagues and I want to significantly reduce your stress and anxiety, I acknowledge applying still requires real effort, and you’ll feel more empowered for success when you can rely on a team of advisors, accountability partners, and cheerleaders. What’s the one thing MBA candidates should know about selecting a recommender? Know that a good reference letter takes time to write!  The reference letters are immensely valuable, as they complement your application and essays with the insights of others.  With this in mind, select references who have the knowledge, desire, and time to advocate on your behalf.  The last of these is essential; even if your reference knows your work well and strongly supports your application, we see this only when your reference invests the necessary time and effort to highlight your qualifications.  Plan ahead, give your references advance notice, and check in with them along the way.

One of the major perks of an MBA is the opportunity to practice in an international business environment. On site, MBAs develop new strategies to adapt to distinct cultural norms and do business under very different sociopolitical circumstances than the ones to which they are accustomed.

First-year Tuck MBA student and New Zealand native Marianne Poh took to the Tuck Blog to discuss her collaboration with an Indian experiential learning program provider.
