IE Foundation announces new scholarship program for outstanding talent at IE New York College

IE Foundation has launched a new scholarship program to support outstanding talent seeking to study at IE New York College (IENYC). This program will be financed with the generous contributions of donors to the IE Foundation General Scholarship Fund and the IE US Fund. To support this program, IE Foundation will allocate funding for 8 scholarships covering between 50% and 75% of tuition fees for the Master in Business for Social Impact and Sustainability at IENYC, starting in the February 2025 intake. 

Scholarships are available to students of any nationality who meet the academic qualifications for an official Master’s program in the US. Candidates interested in this opportunity must complete the program's admission process and apply for the scholarship through the IENYC Financial Aid Office. Applicants are expected to demonstrate a commitment to social impact and an outstanding academic profile.

Gonzalo Garland, Executive Vice President of the IE Foundation, said: “This scholarship program reflects IE Foundation’s strong commitment to fostering positive change in society by expanding access to high quality education to excellent candidates from around the world, and by addressing some of the most important and pressing issues the world is facing.” 

"As Chair of the Board of Trustees of IENYC I welcome this important contribution made by the IE Foundation in support of our college's mission. Thanks to the funds made available by the Foundation IENYC will be able to offer the opportunity of a top-quality education to individuals seeking to have a truly positive impact on society. At IENYC we remain fully committed to advancing the sustainability and business with purpose agenda", added Manuel Muñiz, Chair of the Board of Trustees of IENYC. 

These scholarships are the result of a shared commitment between IE Foundation and IENYC to nurture the next generation of leaders and have an impact in the world. Both institutions, strengthened by their strong ties with IE University, are dedicated to fostering positive change through education, research, and innovation. This initiative aims to enable students from diverse backgrounds to access world-class education and equip them with the skills and mindset needed to create sustainable social impact.
