AUEB Full-Time MBA International Corporate Scholarships

For the 2026-2027 admissions cycle, the confirmed sponsors are Athens International Airport, which funds one partial scholarship, and ION S.A. (a major Greek cocoa and chocolate manufacturer), which funds two partial scholarships. In the prior 2025-2026 cycle, Gastrade S.A. (an LNG infrastructure company) also sponsored an additional partial scholarship, and AUEB typically renews or rotates corporate sponsors from year to year, so applicants should check the live scholarships page for the sponsor list current to their intake.

Because the scholarships are awarded automatically to the strongest admitted candidates rather than through a separate essay or nomination process, the most important step for an applicant is simply putting together the strongest possible MBA application - a competitive undergraduate transcript, clear career narrative, strong recommendation letters, and (where applicable) solid English proficiency and standardized test scores. Scholarship decisions are communicated alongside the admission decision.

The Full-Time MBA International at AUEB costs EUR 9,700 in total tuition, which is markedly lower than equivalent MBA programs in Western Europe or North America, making even a partial scholarship a meaningful reduction in the overall cost of the degree. The program runs in five plus one academic periods (each seven weeks of classes followed by an exam week), starting in September and running about 16 months, with coursework generally concluding by the end of October the following year.

Studying in Athens also gives international MBA candidates access to a growing Greek and southeast European business ecosystem, with strong ties into shipping, tourism, energy, and logistics industries where Greek firms are regional and sometimes global leaders - sectors that feature prominently among the program's corporate scholarship sponsors and recruiting partners.
