About the scholarship
The Boustany Foundation awards its Cambridge University MBA Scholarship once every two years to a single outstanding candidate admitted to the one-year MBA at Cambridge Judge Business School. The award covers 75% of the MBA tuition fees and funds a two-month internship at the Foundation’s office in Monaco over the summer — with travel, food and accommodation expenses paid.
This is a genuine flagship award, confirmed on both the Foundation’s official site and Cambridge Judge’s own scholarships page: one award, deadline 31 May 2027, decided in June 2027 for the class beginning in autumn 2027. Because it covers most — but not all — of the cost, it is marketed here as Funded, not fully funded.

- Show an excellent academic background and considerable promise: the Foundation looks for high intellectual potential, leadership, ambition and strong ethics.
- Be of any nationality — though priority is given to candidates of Lebanese descent.
- Be ready to complete the two-month Monaco internship; its exact dates are agreed case by case between you and the Foundation.
