Recipients are selected on the basis of exceptional academic and professional performance, as well as personal qualities such as leadership, integrity, and community service.

If a student receives a scholarship, the ISB/Banks (in case of student having taken an educational loan) will be the primary recipient of the funding awarded, until the course cost/loan is covered. Any scholarship amount above and beyond this will be passed on to the student.
In case you have been awarded a ISB tuition waiver at the time you were made an offer of admission, the amount you apply for educational loan with any of the banks should be reduced by that extent.
