Stanford University has launched a fellowship that covers tuition and other costs for master-of-business-administration students who agree to work in underserved areas in the Midwest. The Stanford USA MBA Fellowship pays for tuition and associated fees—about $160,000 over two years—for students with ties to the Midwest and who are in need of financial assistance. Students must agree that within two years of graduation they will hold a professional position for two years that contributes to economic development in underserved areas in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin.
To be eligible students must have: current residency in one of the eligible states; prior residency for a minimum of three consecutive years in one of the eligible states; have graduated from a high school in one of the eligible states; or experiences that demonstrate a strong commitment to, and interest in, the development of the region. The application deadline is Jan. 10, 2017.
Simone Hill, an assistant director for MBA admissions at Stanford, told Zara Kessler of Bloomberg News that "the program seeks 'people who are interested in bringing everything that they learned back to their region to develop it.'" Kessler told Hill, “So we don’t have any specific stipulations on what we mean by ‘having an impact,’ because we know there are so many different ways you can do that.”
