The Laidlaw Foundation Scholarship
The Lord Irvine A.S. Laidlaw ’65 Scholarship provides crucial financial assistance to exceptional female MBA candidates who might not otherwise be able to afford business school. In addition to an unparalleled education, they receive entrée into an expanding community of talented Laidlaw Columbia Business Scholars (LCBS). Through programming, mentorship, and organizational partnerships, the LCBS community supports and augments members’ success both at school and on into their careers.
To date, nearly 300 students from 30 countries have received the Laidlaw Scholarship and joined the global network supported by the Laidlaw Foundation. It includes not only the high-potential, extraordinary women in the LCBS community, but also an international cohort of undergraduate Laidlaw Scholars. Learn more about the LCBS community, Laidlaw Scholars, and the Foundation’s other graduate scholarship for women at London Business School on the Laidlaw Network. Columbia Business School remains grateful to the Laidlaw Foundation for establishing this important and transformative initiative. There is no separate application process to be considered for the Laidlaw Scholarship. Recipients are chosen through the need-based scholarship process for full-time MBA students.
