The Lord Irvine A.S. Laidlaw ’65 Scholarship

The Lord Irvine A.S. Laidlaw ’65 Scholarship at Columbia Business School provides crucial financial assistance to underrepresented MBA students, giving them access to an unparalleled business education and entrée into an expanding community of incredibly talented and supportive Laidlaw Columbia Business Scholars (LCBS).

Each year, approximately 100 full-time students from both first- and second-year classes benefit from the Laidlaw Foundation's generosity, which has enabled more prospective students to make the decision to matriculate to Columbia’s MBA program free from financial constraints. Once enrolled, Laidlaw Columbia Business Scholars are welcomed into the growing group by former scholarship recipients and Lord Laidlaw himself, laying the foundation for a lifetime of engagement.

Scholars come from over 20 countries and have comprised about 10 percent of each graduating MBA class since the scholarship’s inception in 2015. These exceptional student leaders distinguish themselves academically and professionally both at Columbia and on into their careers. To date, nearly 300 students have received the Lord Irvine A.S. Laidlaw ’65 Scholarship and joined this network of high-potential, extraordinary young people. The network includes not only the LCBS community, but also an international cohort of undergraduate researchers, “Laidlaw Scholars.” You can learn more about the LCBS community, as well as the Laidlaw Scholars and their research on the Laidlaw Network.

Columbia Business School remains grateful to the Laidlaw Foundation for establishing this important and transformative initiative.
