New Executive MBA scholarships expand funding options
Acknowledging that talented leaders come from a variety of professional and financial circumstances, Kellogg has launched four new Executive MBA scholarship opportunities.
Pursuing a top-ranked Executive MBA is a significant personal, professional and financial commitment. Each new EMBA scholarship opportunity has been created to support students while recognizing individuals who have demonstrated leadership within their industry or organization.
New awards include the:
- Entrepreneurship Award — Awarded to select founders/owners working in an entrepreneurial venture as their primary job
- Family Enterprise Award — Awarded to select students currently working in their multigenerational family business as their primary job
- Healthcare Leadership Award — Awarded to select mid-career students in healthcare with career goals in healthcare leadership
- Media, Sports and Entertainment Award — Awarded to select students working in a media, sports or entertainment organization
“We’ve seen our Kellogg alums excel as leaders of family businesses and entrepreneurial ventures as well as find success in the healthcare and media/sports/entertainment industries,” says Christine Mayer, director of Executive MBA admissions. “We’re excited to be able offer these new awards to incoming students to help them pursue their goals in these spaces.”
The awards offer admitted students financial support as they pursue their MBA, and join existing admissions committee scholarships, including the:
- Dean’s Leadership Award — The award amounts vary and are determined by the admissions committee
- Not-for-Profit Scholarship — Awarded to at least one student per year working in a not-for-profit organization, covering up to 30% of tuition
In addition to support awarded by the admissions committee, the Mork Scholarship and Lavengood Scholarships require students to complete all financial aid materials for consideration and are awarded by the Financial Aid Office.
- Mork Scholarship — One $10,000 scholarship awarded annually to a student working in the energy industries. Students must complete all financial aid application materials
- Lavengood Scholarship — Awarded to one student working in social services, government, or education on a yearly basis. Scholarship amounts vary. Students must complete all financial aid application materials
Time and again, students have praised not only the return on investment that the Kellogg EMBA Program gave them, but also the return on a transformational experience: the immediate benefits of a community-minded global network of peers and leaders, along with the prestige that comes from a top-ranked institution like Kellogg. That said, Kellogg understands that an Executive MBA is a significant financial investment, and the school is here to help. Financial aid decisions are based on a holistic review of the completed scholarship application, the application for admission and the interview component. Qualified candidates are encouraged to explore scholarship options early in their decision process.
Kellogg values the experiences each student brings to campus and offers multiple pathways to help executives finance their education. Prospective students can explore financial aid resources, attend an admissions event or connect with an admissions representative to learn more about applying to Kellogg.
