Warwick Business School tops FT Best Online MBA ranking

The Warwick Business School Online MBA has retained its number one position as the best in the world following the results of the Financial Times Online MBA Ranking 2019.

The Online MBA at Warwick stood because of its value for money, graduate career progression and the strength of the faculty at the School. Alumni salary was also strong, with online graduates earning $214,141 on average, compared with $118,406 for its full-time MBA ranking graduates. This is due in large part because students studying the online course tend to be older, and have enjoyed further career progression.

GUIDE TO HELP SAVE YOU FROM SCHOLARSHIP SCAMS

Finding scholarship opportunities can be challenging in its own right,
but when your student also has to dodge scholarship scams, it is even more daunting.

Some companies use fake scholarship applications to collect people’s personal data and sell it to third parties.
Others gather information that allows them to steal the identity of anyone who applies.
Some even charge students to apply and then don’t award scholarships, allowing them to take off with the money.

Ultimately, the scholarship landscape can feel like a minefield.
However, by learning what makes opportunities legitimate and what warning signs are present with scholarship scams,
your student can avoid less than scrupulous attempts to take their personal information.
