For a scholarship receiver, we are looking for a person who has a strong desire to develop their skills to the next level and aims for greater societal impact through their work. The scholarship aims to support the ability of an entrepreneurial and motivated professional to develop and lead an organization innovatively and sustainably.

Applicants with diverse backgrounds
The MBA scholarship holders of previous years are Matleena Aarikallio, Strategic Development Specialist at Owatec Oy, Kaisa Kannuksela, Director of Domestic Programs at Finnish Refugee Council, and Joonas Keskinen, Manager of the Taidetestaajat (Art Testers) program at the Association of Finnish Children's Cultural Centers.
"I am inspired by the idea that Aalto MBA studies are challenging because I genuinely want to learn and understand new things. The most motivating part is that all the things that will be studied have some practical function and use in my own life and work", says the latest MBA scholarship holder Joonas Keskinen.
The hope is that people with various backgrounds apply for the scholarship. Emma Niemi, Communication Manager at koulutus.fi, encourages applicants to unveil their personality in the scholarship application.
"The applicant should consider the questions in the application form deeper than the surface and open their personality to us in the answers. We are looking forward to this year's applications," says Emma Niemi from koulutus.fi.
