Now that the congratulations have whistled down a little, let me give some context. (Read to the end.) A regular Master’s can cost anywhere from €1,000 to €20,000+ a year, depending on the country and school. An MBA is a completely different beast. My IESE MBA costs €114,000 in tuition alone. About ₦185 million. That’s why many scholarships that fully fund regular Master’s programmes (tuition, living expenses, travel, etc.) either cap their MBA funding or exclude MBAs altogether. Chevening, for example, provides funding for Master’s programmes, but caps its MBA tuition contribution at £22,000. Erasmus Mundus specifically funds Joint Master’s programmes, not MBAs. (don’t wreck them 😅) So when you see someone willing to put over €100,000 into your education, it is a BIG deal. And when I said I received a 100% scholarship to IESE, I meant exactly that. My scholarship covers 100% of my €114,000 tuition fee. What it doesn’t cover, however, is my living expenses. So I’m sorting out rent, food and everything else myself. Which brings us back to my “Blessing Private Placement” exercise from months ago. You remember? 😅 Yes, people actually subscribed. That was largely to help me fund the living-expense side of this journey. A number of people here have known about my MBA since then because I privately sent them my proposal. I haven’t completely figured out the living-expense part yet, but I’m positive I will. The hardest part has been solved. I got here, and my tuition is fully covered. Now I’m just figuring out how to live here. And since it’s public now, I feel comfortable attaching the original fundraising exercise for anyone who wants to see it, laugh at the audacity of it all 😅, or feels compelled to add their quota.
