The Stephen Young Global Leaders scholarship programme (SYGL) seeks to honour Professor Stephen Young, a former Head of the Department of Marketing and Dr Huang’s supervisor and mentor during his PhD studies.
The Charles Huang Foundation donation provides a scholarship for scholars of exceptional merit undertaking the Strathclyde MBA or an MSc in Strathclyde Business School on a full-time study basis (one year) in Glasgow starting in September 2026.
The SYGL scholarship programme aims to develop global leaders in society and business. Successful candidates will receive a scholarship that includes the full Strathclyde MBA/MSc fees and a stipend to cover living costs for the academic year. Alongside your MBA/MSc studies, each scholar will receive additional mentorship support and the opportunity to apply for enhanced leadership development via the Stephen Young Institute of International Business (SYIIB). You will also become a part of the wider SYIIB Community.
All SYGL scholars undertake their Strathclyde MBA/MSc studies as a member of the full-time MBA/MSc cohort within Strathclyde Business School. In addition to their SBS studies, SYGL scholars benefit from enhanced leadership development opportunities coordinated by the SYIIB. These include tailored mentorship to help you achieve your career aspirations and the opportunity to apply for an additional developmental activity as a member of the SYIIB community.
The SYGL Programme will equip you with essential leadership skills and competencies that will enable you to become a values-led, impactful leader who can help your organisation succeed in a responsible and sustainable way. The SYGL programme will develop the capabilities that leaders require in an increasingly competitive and rapidly changing, global environment. In addition to your MBA/MSc studies - and conditional on meeting your programme requirements and also conditional on availability of places - SYGL Scholars may apply for one of the following opportunities:
In addition, all SYGL scholars are offered coaching/mentoring support by at least one business leader, CEO or other senior executive of a large organisation within an industry relevant to the candidate’s industry background and future career aspirations.
