Support for under-represented minorities, gays and lesbians, and women students at Chicago Booth is available to you even as early as the application process.

Admissions

We actively recruit and support gays and lesbians, women and under-represented minorities. The Admissions Office partners with several organizations to reach out and attract the best students by hosting admission events for women, gays and lesbians, and minorities. 

Office of Diversity Affairs

The Office of Diversity Affairs (ODA) leads our support efforts, serving as a liaison between students, Chicago Booth offices, and corporate partners to provide unique programming that compliments both the educational and recruiting experiences. ODA plans numerous events to serve the professional needs of women, gay and lesbian, and minority graduate business students. Check out our programming.

Scholarships and Fellowships

In addition to merit-based scholarships, Chicago Booth offers several internal and corporate-based fellowships to support women and underrepresented minorities in their pursuit of a Full-Time MBA. Several of our fellowships are exclusive to women, such as the Forté Fellowship and the Herman Family Fellowship for Women in Entrepreneurship. We are also pleased to partner with several well-known corporations to offer other awards, which include the opportunity for mentorship and career guidance.
