EMBA scholarships

Institutional resources

The Kellogg Executive MBA Program admissions committee awards a limited number of scholarships during the admissions cycle.

Scholarship decisions are awarded based on a holistic review of the completed scholarship application, the application for admission and the interview component.

Admitted students are notified of the scholarship awards no later than three weeks prior to Launch Week.

• Drake Scholarship — The Drake Scholarship seeks to equip and inspire high-potential women to pursue, navigate and sustain careers that drive organizational and societal impact, thanks to the generous support of Ms. Ann Drake, EMBA alumna, Class of 1984. The Drake Scholarship significantly reduces the cost of tuition in the program. Award recipients must maintain good academic standing in order to remain eligible. Scholarship support is matched to female (or female-identifying) students who would have otherwise been awarded support based on either need or merit

Forté Foundation Scholarships will be awarded per academic year and are automatically renewed for the second year of the program provided the student maintains good academic standing
