If I'm successful, how do I receive the scholarship?
If you receive a scholarship, we'll send you a discount code which will reduce your tuition fees by 30%. Enter this code when you enroll. Make sure you use the code within 30 days – otherwise it will expire.
Remember, you'll need to pay for the remaining 70% of your tuition fees. So, while our tuition fees are designed to be affordable, we still recommend that you check them before applying.
I’m a current learner. Can I apply?
You must be a new learner to apply for this scholarship. If you're a current learner, we have many more opportunities planned: stay tuned!
What if I get behind on my work? Will the scholarship be taken away?
Nexford scholarships are designed for people with big ambitions. That's why we expect you to maintain a 2.5 GPA in the BBA and a 3.0 in the MBA.
Of course, we'll help you stay on track with support, coaching and mentoring throughout your degree.
How long do I have to complete my degree?
You must complete your BBA in four years maximum and MBA in 24 months maximum.
Do I need to do anything else if I receive the scholarship?
Yes! You'll still need to enroll. Once you receive an official email that you've been awarded a scholarship, and that you have been admitted to Nexford University, you must enroll within 30 days using your unique email code.
Your scholarship will expire if not used within 30 days.
When enrolling, you'll have the opportunity to choose your program start date because we understand learners often need time to make plans before they can start a program.
How do you choose who gets a scholarship?
We look at your answers on your scholarship application. These help us learn what drives you in life and what you want to achieve. We want to know that you'll use your Entrepreneurship Scholarship to go after your goals.
Our Scholarship Committee meets twice a week to decide who will receive a scholarship.
Can I apply for a scholarship if I don't want startup funding?
Yes, you can still apply for a scholarship even if you don’t want funding. The scholarship and startup funding are not tied together. For example, if you want to apply entrepreneurship concepts within your current job, or are not ready to start your business yet, you can still apply for a scholarship.
Can I get in touch to explain my application?
Unfortunately, we can't reply to individual messages. Everything we need to know to make a decision is in your application.
What is a BBA? What is an MBA?
We offer graduate and undergraduate degrees: an MBA and a BBA.
Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a graduate management degree for experienced professionals.
Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) is a foundational business degree. The BBA is perfect if you're an early career professional, or if you're shifting into a new career in business.
What does GPA mean?
Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is the average of all the grades you earn in your degree. We calculate your GPA on a four-point scale:
As receive 4.0
Bs receive 3.0
Cs receive 2.0
Fs receive 1.0
We don't grant D or E grades.
To hold your scholarship, you'll need to keep your GPA above 2.5 for BBA, and 3.0 for MBA.
