Can I apply for multiple scholarships and combine them to fund my MBA in New Zealand or the UAE?
Yes, you can apply for multiple scholarships for an MBA in New Zealand and the UAE. Whether they can be combined depends on each university and scholarship programme, since some allow stacking while others let you hold only one award, and a few cap you at the highest-value one.
Yes, you can apply to more than one scholarship, but combining them depends on the specific policies of each university and scholarship programme.
Stacking rules at a glance
| Situation | What can happen |
|---|---|
| Stacking allowed | You may hold more than one award together |
| Single award rule | You may need to accept only one scholarship |
| Highest value rule | At some universities only, you may be limited to the highest-value scholarship |
What to check
Read the terms and conditions of every scholarship to confirm whether combining awards is permitted before you accept an offer.
My Advice
Apply broadly, but keep a simple list of each award's terms. If a scholarship does not allow stacking, ask the university which option is worth more for your total fees.
