The Opportunity
Competitive financial aid strengthens Wharton’s ability to attract and enroll the best business students, irrespective of need.
In the last few years, Wharton has increased financial support to top African-American admitted students. Because of these efforts, there has been a significant increase in the number of African-American students who choose to enroll in the Wharton MBA program once accepted.
The Request
Contribute to the establishment of an MBA student support fund for African-Americans. This fund will continue to make Wharton an attractive and viable option to top African-American admitted students who seek financial support.
The Impact
With your help, Wharton can continue to increase the number of African-American students who attend the best business school in the world.

“This fellowship changed the trajectory of my life and the opportunities available to my family. I have been introduced to a world and community that I didn’t even realize existed. My Wharton experience will help me achieve the life I want and allow me to be a strong contributor to the world I want to see.”
