The Lake Forest Graduate School of Management (LFGSM) has announced the start of the President’s Scholars Program — a nomination-based scholarship and mentorship program offered to incoming MBA students beginning in the 2016 Winter 1 term and again in the 2016 Fall term.
This is a scholarship opportunity designed for prospective MBAs who have already established an extensive portfolio in the professional world. Ten candidates will be selected each year through a nomination process to participate in the program. They will each receive $10,000 in tuition credit to be applied over the first two years of study at Lake Forest Graduate School of Management.
Why call it the President’s Scholars Program? Each scholar will receive special one-on-one coaching and leadership assessment with LFGSM President and CEO Jeffrey Anderson. Other special opportunities offered through the program include access to exclusive networking and leadership events during the course of their MBA program, entry to quarterly keynote learning sessions for the Scholars and the ability to represent LFGSM at public events, providing valuable in-person networking opportunities and professional exposure.
According to LFGSM, prospective MBAs will be assessed by the admissions team and selected to apply for the President’s Scholars Program. Friends of the School, including alumni and corporate partners, may also nominate candidates.
