Scholarships


I've been applying to European and Australian MBA programmes and unfortunately, I haven't been accepted to my top 2 choices out of 5. The 3 other programmes who did accept me all offered sizable scholarship amounts without having to apply for these scholarships. I really do feel uncomfortable accepting a scholarship at these schools because I assume they will be asking me to participate in promotional activities for the school such as to get involved on BusinessBecause and other such social medias (which I despise for its narcissistic nature) and probably on their blogs or brochures. I would of course prefer to pay less for the course, but I am definitely not interested in feeling uncomfortable during the MBA. How can I address the issue with the school? Will I be forced to comply with their requests if I accept the money?

Is there a way in 2014 to do a MBA without having to share my experience with the world and actually focus on the learning side of it and not for the benefit of the school?
