The generosity of corporations, foundations, and individuals helps exceptional students with a range of fellowships. No separate application is required. All admitted students are automatically considered for Wharton Fellowship assistance based on their admissions application.
Unique personal traits and backgrounds, academic success, remarkable professional development, and community involvement are among the criteria for fellowship selection. In the Admission and Financial Aid letter, awards are mentioned.
For a typical MBA student, fellowships are two-year awards distributed evenly across four semesters.
