SP Jain Global (Dubai) Merit Scholarship
SP Jain School of Global Management runs a genuinely unusual model: students spend the programme rotating between its Dubai, Mumbai, Singapore and Sydney campuses rather than staying in one city, which builds a multi-market perspective into the degree structure itself. Its Bachelor of Business Administration and Global MBA both start cohorts in Dubai, and merit scholarships reduce tuition based on academic record, entrance test performance and interview. The school is Australian-accredited through its Sydney campus and licensed by KHDA in Dubai. For Sri Lankan students the practical appeal is the combination of an internationally-mobile business degree, a Gulf base within a three-and-a-half-hour flight of Colombo, and lower total costs than an equivalent Australian or UK programme. Confirm which body awards your specific degree and how it is recognised before committing, as with any multi-campus provider.

info How this award actually works
Who awards it
SP Jain School of Global Management, Dubai — not Lanka Scholar. We are not the awarding body and cannot grant, reserve or guarantee this award.
How you are considered
Through your admission application. Awards like this are usually assessed automatically from the application you already submit — there is typically no separate scholarship form to fill in.
What it covers
Partial Tuition Scholarships for Undergraduate and MBA Applicants. This is a reduction in tuition, not a full ride. You still fund the remainder, plus living costs and the balance your visa requires you to show.
Where we come in
We make the admission application strong enough to be competitive — course choice, documents, references and deadlines. The funder makes the decision.

Academic Merit
Sri Lankan A-Levels with strong results for the BBA; a Bachelor's degree plus work experience for the Global MBA. Scholarship banding is tied to academic record and test performance.
Entrance Test and Interview
SP Jain uses its own entrance examination alongside or in place of GMAT/SAT, followed by a personal interview. Test performance directly affects the scholarship band offered.
Confirm Accreditation and Recognition
Establish in writing which body awards your specific degree, its accreditation status, and how it is treated by the University Grants Commission in Sri Lanka or by employers in your target market.
English Proficiency
IELTS 6.0-6.5 depending on level, generally waived where prior education was fully in English. Sri Lankan English-medium A-Level students normally qualify for the waiver.
account_tree Application Process
Choose the programme and starting campus
Confirm the campus rotation sequence for your intake — which cities you will study in and for how long — because it affects visa requirements, accommodation costs and total budget.
Submit the application and sit the entrance test
- Certified A-Level results or degree transcripts
- CV, particularly for MBA applicants
- Passport copy
- English proficiency evidence or Medium of Instruction letter
Interview and scholarship assessment
The interview and test results together determine the scholarship band. Ask for the award to be stated in writing with its duration and any renewal conditions.
Model the total cost across campuses
Living costs differ sharply between Dubai, Mumbai, Singapore and Sydney. Ask the admissions team for indicative per-city living costs for your rotation before accepting.
Visas for each campus
The rotation model means multiple student visas across the degree. Confirm which visas the school sponsors, what each costs, and what the processing timelines are for a Sri Lankan passport holder.

Looking for a scholarship because of the cost?
Then start here instead. Scholarships are competitive, usually partial, and decided by someone else — they are the least reliable way to make studying abroad affordable. Your destination and course choice move the number far more, and both are entirely within your control.
