3. Application Content
The Magellan MBA Board offers six merit-based scholarships for applicants to the 2010/11 Magellan MBA programme. Interested candidates, especially non-Portuguese applicants from developing countries, will receive priority in the scholarship award consideration, and are encouraged to apply between February 1st and April 30th. The first four scholarships will be granted in the early spring, the remaining two by mid-July. Scholarships will cover up to 75% of tuition costs, and will not cover room and board. The following criteria will guide the Board in the selection of the scholarship recipients: acceptance to the programme, country of origin, GMAT score, and overall previous academic and professional performance. All accepted applicants are screened for the scholarship selection. 5. References letters Two reference letters are requested by the Admissions Committee, one from a faculty member familiar with the candidate’s academic career, and another by his or her manager or business associate familiar with the applicant's professional career and progress. The admissions committee reserves the right to contact the referees for further clarification. 6. GMAT The GMAT Test may be taken at the Galileu training centre in Lisbon, or at the CESAE training centre in Porto, as well as at any other centre in the world. The test date is flexible, and may be scheduled by telephone. Please visit http://www.mba.com , the official GMAT web site, to learn more details. The GMAT score is one of various selection criteria used by the Admissions Committee, but selection is never based on this alone. A lower score does not automatically eliminate a candidate, but it is worth noting that the average GMAT is expected to exceed 600, as it did in the Magellan 2008/09 and 2009/10 Editions. 7. Proficiency in English To verify proficiency in English, each applicant is required to take IELTS, TOEFL or other ESL (English as a Second Language) test considered credible by the Admissions Committee. Foreign nationals whose native language is English or who graduated from universities where English is the language of instruction, are exempt from the English proficiency tests. Please note that test results are integral parts of the application and need to be submitted in order for the application to be complete and ready for review.
