The Sustainable Business Practices Scholarship is for applicants with a previous professional experience in sustainability or responsible investment, or those who have had a contribution in these fields in their job position. Applicants are reviewed on an individual basis and are judged according to their academic achievements, personal motivation and the general positivity that they can add to the school.

Applying for this scholarship requires the submission of an essay (at least 2000 words).
In some cases, the SUMAS Committee can require the submission of a  2 minutes video explaining your motivation to apply at SUMAS  as well as your future plans to become a responsible leader.
