  - How do you plan to use your (MSc) education at RSM to achieve your academic and/or professional goals and make a positive impact on your community or society at large?
• A budget plan using this template;

Please note that we can only take the scholarship application into consideration when it is complete and meets all of the requirements. This includes a GMAT or GRE score, English language test results (if applicable) and a budget plan.
