Madrid (Spain) Airbus Project
Beacon has partnered with Airbus for several years, including programs in 2019, 2022, and 2023. Airbus is the largest aeronautics and space company in Europe and a top 10 defense company worldwide. All Beacon projects are led by an experienced consultant, having worked at McKinsey, Bain, or BCG. The project lead will guide participants through the entire project, coordinate client interactions, and provide participants with personal insights into the life of a top-tier consultant. Beacon itself is a U.S. based organization, offering summer programs in many locations. Though most students pay to complete Beacon consulting programs, this opportunity to receive a full merit scholarship is designed for particularly talented individuals, is offered exclusively via Handshake, and is to participate in the Beacon Airbus Project in Madrid, Spain. (If applying via Handshake, please ignore the fees listed on the website linked, as recipients of this opportunity will receive a full merit scholarship).
GPA: Although the GPA requirement is only 3.0, it will be a major factor in the decision to award the merit scholarship.
How To Apply: 1) Submit your application via Handshake. An initial selection of possible scholarship recipients will be announced sometime after the deadline closes. 2) Those in the final selection group will have additional steps to take to be considered for the full merit scholarship.
