Chicago Booth supports an environment that encourages critical thought, differing viewpoints, and collaboration. We are committed to identifying and recruiting top talent and expanding access and opportunities for a wide and diverse range of students. We fully recognize the hurdles facing many in pursuing an MBA: financial burdens, career path issues, and programmatic support. With increased resources, we can take up the challenge of providing broader access to our MBA programs and competing for the most gifted students.

Success During the Campaign

• Boosted the MBA scholarship support to $6.3 million, more than a threefold increase since 1999
• Increased the PhD support to $6.1 million, up $4 million over the last 10 years

Future Goals

• Increase MBA scholarship aid by $1.5 million during the 2008-09 academic year
