International MBA (Audencia) - mit eigenem Stipendienrahmen (ohne Diversity Scholarship)

International MBA scholarships at Audencia

You get a partial waiver of your tuition fees for the one-year International MBA in Nantes, France. The full tuition is 35,000 EUR, so a waiver cuts a large part off that. There are four options, and you can hold one main scholarship at a time. Scholars also get their 500 EUR yearly service fee waived.

• Early Application Scholarship: 50% off tuition (about 17,500 EUR) if you apply before 31 January 2026.
• Project-based Scholarship: up to 50% off tuition if you submit a short document (max 1,500 words) showing your ideas for one of the four IMBA specialisations, such as Entrepreneurship and Transformation. You cannot combine this with the Early Application Scholarship.
• Excellence Scholarship: up to 30% off tuition for strong academic results, judged automatically from your transcripts.
• Solidarity Scholarship: up to 30% off tuition if you can show financial need.

The award comes from Audencia Business School in Nantes, a school with triple accreditation (AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS).

Who can apply

• Nationality: The scholarships are for international applicants only.
• Admission: You are accepted to the September (autumn) intake but not yet enrolled.
• Degree: You hold a bachelor's degree in any subject.
• Work experience: You have at least three years of full-time work after your degree.
• English: You prove English at TOEFL iBT 84+, IELTS 6.5+, TOEIC 650+ or Duolingo 100+. This is waived if you studied in English or are a native speaker.

How to apply

You apply online at candidat.audencia.com. Scholarships are assessed automatically during admission, so you need no separate application. The only exception is the Project-based Scholarship, which needs the 1,500-word document in the form. Suitable candidates then have an online interview, with a decision usually within three weeks. The scholarship offer comes with your admission offer. The Early Application deadline is 31 January 2026, the general deadline runs to June 2026, and the programme starts in September 2026.

How realistic are your chances?

Places and funds are limited (only 35 students per year) and awarded on a rolling basis, so applying early clearly helps. The Early Application waiver alone rewards you for beating the January deadline. If you meet the entry bar (a degree plus three years of work) and apply well before places fill, your prospects for at least a partial waiver are solid. Strong grades or clear financial need can add further reductions.
