Over the past years, with increasing competition and the rise of tuition fees, Financial Aid has grown in importance to become a core area for education institutions, as well as for IE. Its strategic importance goes beyond awarding scholarships and fellowships to candidates. It plays a pivotal role in supporting all marketing and recruiting activities, as well as building strong institutional relations with companies, governments, private and public institutions, banks and funds.
The Financial Aid department also supports strategic projects, such as building a more gender friendly pipeline or attracting talent and high potential candidates, for instance. Our aim is to be an effective tool to help open new recruiting niches and markets.
