Nunzio Quacquarelli, managing director of QS and the World MBA and Grad School Tours, says: aIt is testament to the faith the worldas leading business schools have in the success of the QS Tours, that even during this economic downturn, when schools are understandably cautious about their scholarships and other finances, the amount of scholarship funding they have made available on the QS Tours in 2009 has increased from US$1.2 to $1.6million We know that more and more people are considering using the economic downturn as a chance to further their education and to put themselves in a stronger position on the other side of the recession. For the Indian candidates visiting the QS World MBA Tour this summer is the ideal place to start, as it also allows attendees to apply for those scholarships.a
