Frequently Asked Questions

What does a typical day of the Challenge look like?

A 2.5-hour online session, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. We’ll start with a plenary session introducing H-FARM Business School and the staff, then we’ll divide you into breakout rooms dedicated to your Master’s program for a vertical challenge with the support of a faculty member. After a short break, you’ll tackle a general challenge based on a business or social scenario in mixed-group settings. Each challenge concludes with a presentation of the results in the plenary session.

How are participants evaluated? Does my resume matter?

No, we don’t make decisions based on resumes alone. We look at how you work in a team: whether you build on others’ ideas and engage those who remain silent, whether you take charge and provide direction when the group gets stuck, whether you raise critical points and know how to respond to objections, and whether you meet deadlines and adhere to operational constraints. These are the soft skills that really matter.

Do you need any specific technical experience to participate?

We only ask that you have a basic familiarity with the online tools we'll be using—screen sharing, breakout rooms, chat, and working audio and video. No advanced skills are required: this is more of an assessment of your digital literacy than a technical test.

I'm already enrolled in a master's program: What happens if I win the Challenge?

If you've already paid a fee and win the scholarship, we'll refund the full amount.

When will I find out if I've won?

In the following days (October 12–13), the selected candidates will be invited to an individual interview with our staff. The official announcement of the winners is scheduled for Friday, October 16.

What will the fellow do?

You’re not just winning a scholarship—you’re winning the role of Class Leader. For each Master’s program, we’re looking for someone to serve as the class’s point of contact—someone who connects students with the H-FARM Business School team, leads the group, and enjoys a unique networking experience on our campus. In return, your tuition will be covered 100%.
