The scholarship will provide 100% tuition fee waivers to 25 international students each year admitted to ISB's flagship Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP).

The scholarship marks ISB's 25th anniversary and is designed to attract high-potential professionals from around the world, thereby bringing diverse perspectives and experiences to ISB's classrooms and broader community.

Established in 2001, ISB is a research-driven management institution with campuses in Hyderabad and Mohali. It offers management education for professionals at different career stages, focusing on developing leaders for India and the world. Its flagship Post Graduate Programme (PGP) is a one-year, full-time residential programme bringing together experienced professionals from India and around the world.

The Destination India Scholarship is open to non-Indian nationals admitted to the PGP. Twenty-five candidates will receive a full tuition fee waiver each year. Eligible international applicants admitted to the programme will be automatically considered, with no separate scholarship application required. Selection will be based on the candidate's overall profile and demonstrated excellence.
