IMPORTANT NOTE:
The application must have two reference forms completed before the application deadline: an academic* reference from someone who knows your academic work well and a community reference from someone who knows your community involvement well.
*If the program you're applying to doesn't require an academic reference, you can provide a professional (work) reference instead of an academic one. If your program requires at least one academic reference, then this reference must also be an academic one.
When you submit a reference request, the reference writer will receive an email with a private link to fill out an online form. See the questions we'll ask them.
Please ask people who know you well. A good reference provides concrete examples to help us better understand you, how you meet the selection criteria, current areas of improvement, and how your proposed studies might benefit your continued growth.
Do not choose family members, fellow students, or friends.
It means you must provide the following three references:
1. One reference from the IBA faculty who would be in a better position to evaluate your academic work from IBA.
2. One reference from the right person to access your community involvement.
3. IBA Karachi will endorse some applications based on the eligibility criteria - (Character, community engagement, leadership potential, entrepreneurial spirit, academic strength, and intellectual curiosity) set by McCall MacBain Scholarship - after the application deadline.
You can submit your application now and it doesn't require endorsement from IBA Karachi at this moment. But if you cannot submit your application without entering the details then please use the following details:
First Name: Maheen
Last Name: Ghauri
Organization: IBA
Position/Title: Dean Student Affairs
Relationship: Dean IBA Karachi
Phone Number: IBA'number
E-mail Address: internationaloffice@iba.edu.pk
Applications will be first shortlisted by IBA Karachi, and those applications will be endorsed after the application deadline.
The number of applications endorsed from IBA Karachi will depend upon the understanding between the managing team of the scholarship. The numbers of applications endorsed by IBA Karachi are yet to be decided. However, since IBA Karachi has become the partner this year for this scholarship, we are expecting that we will endorse more than one application this year.
