Forté Foundation MBA Fellowship
Offered by Forté Foundation (with member business schools)
About this scholarship
The Forté Fellowship is a merit-based award offered through the Forté Foundation's network of member business schools across the United States and internationally, created to advance women in business by reducing the cost barrier to an MBA. Fellows receive a financial award toward MBA tuition; the amount is determined by each individual member school (all member schools grant awards to full-time students, and part-time and executive awards are available at select schools). Importantly, students of all nationalities, genders, and gender identities are eligible for consideration — the fellowship advances women in business but is not restricted by gender — and selection rests with each school, which chooses who will represent it as Forté Fellows. To be considered you must first submit an MBA application to a participating Forté member school (there is no separate central fellowship application); the school then selects Fellows who exhibit exemplary leadership, represent diverse backgrounds, and demonstrate a commitment to advancing women in business, often through involvement in groups such as Women in Business, Women in Finance, or Women in Consulting clubs. Prospective applicants are encouraged to contact the admissions office of the member school they're interested in.
