The MBA is a very big commitment, in both time and financial resources. Having the opportunity to come to Cambridge on this scholarship was something that probably strengthened my decision further to come here and knowing that this was the right place for me. With the scholarship, I've been able to achieve two main things. First, engaging with my diverse cohort members who share an interest in my field has allowed me to share my prior knowledge and expertise. Second, as I look ahead to how the MBA will shape my future career, I'm constantly seeking out impact-focused organizations. This scholarship has enabled me to align my interests with my future goals.
