Beacon Capital Fellows Program
“Empower outstanding graduating Kellogg School students to experience leadership in non-profit and public organizations through a one-year fellowship.”

Program Overview

As envisioned by Dean Dipak C. Jain, the Kellogg School of Management is in the business of producing socially responsible global leaders. To that end, with the support of Mr. and Mrs. Alan Leventhal and Beacon Capital Partners, the faculty and the student-led Social Impact Club are launching the Beacon Capital Partners Fellows Program (BCFP) to provide new leadership experiences for MBA students.

BCFP encourages graduating Kellogg School students to develop outstanding projects in nonprofit and public organizations through one-year fellowships at selected institutions. Fellows work closely with senior management, developing unique projects that will generate measurable results to the organization and ultimately to the community. The program benefits both parties: students gain rewarding leadership experience, developing a project with major impact and measurable results to society; while the nonprofit and public organizations benefit from having a valuable resource, an MBA student who has a differentiated set of skills.

Furthermore, Fellows are supported throughout the process by having a mentor who is a high-level leader in the organization and by a Kellogg School faculty adviser sponsored by the Social Enterprise at Kellogg program.

The unique aspect of this program is that the salary for the Fellowship will be funded by the participating organization and matched by a grant from Beacon Capital Partners.
