Supplemental Scholarships

The Berkeley MBA Grant is awarded to students based primarily on significant financial need.

Applicants will be asked to self-report income and asset information in order to determine eligibility for funding. Need-based grants will be awarded on a conditional basis and are subject to verification. Award recipients will be asked to submit a single digital file with supporting documentation to validate self-reported data from the application form after an award offer has been made. Our dynamic algorithm does not allow us to publish an income “cut-off point” therefore we highly recommend that all students with interest in need-based funding apply for consideration. Our review accounts for factors including, but not limited to: income, savings, assets, and household size.

Established in memory of Brian L. Maxwell through the generosity of Jennifer Maxwell. The Maxwell Fellowship is awarded to individuals who have demonstrated entrepreneurial spirit and a drive to create and implement innovative projects, products, and ideas.

The C & J White Fellowship is awarded to MBA students pursuing careers in finance.

Generously funded by the Center for Equity, Gender, & Leadership (EGAL), the two-year fellowship is awarded to students who best demonstrate their commitment to diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplaces and their desire to support the Center for Equity, Gender, and Leadership at Berkeley Haas. Selected fellows will serve as a member of the EGAL MBA Board, a representative for student media, corporate requests and, write two blog posts for the EGAL blog per academic year. This equates to an 8-12 hour commitment each semester. Benefits to being selected as a EGAL fellow include: preferred access to EGAL events, experience working on issues related to gender, and increased job marketability.

Provided by the generosity of Mr. Scott Galloway and in conjunction with the Galloway Scholars Program at Berkeley Haas, this award supports students in the Full-Time MBA Program at the Haas School of Business. Mr. Galloway’s intention to financially support children of immigrants, for both undergraduate and graduate students at the Berkeley Haas School of Business, is an incredibly generous and visionary goal. This goal is clearly stated and based on his experiences as a child of immigrants, who benefitted from the public education that California did, and continues to offer, to children of immigrant parents. He is a beneficiary of this educational opportunity and now wants to provide funding to ensure these opportunities exist for other children of immigrant families.

The Institute for Business & Social Impact (IBSI) brings together four major Haas School centers and programs to train leaders to build a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable society. Three major fellowships are associated with IBSI: Jacobs Foundation Fellowship, Spivack Social Impact Fellowship, and Center for Responsible Business (CRB) Fellowships. These fellowships utilize a common application for evaluation and candidate selection that is coordinated by IBSI.

The Jacobs Foundation Fellowships are awarded to individuals pursuing a career in social impact, with special interest in education (science, technology or economics) for the disadvantaged, particularly in Africa. Fellows need to be committed to the goals of the Foundation and will be regularly asked to engage with the Jacobs Foundation via their Jacobs network and conferences. They are expected to become active participants in the network, connecting with other fellows online and offline through events and conferences; and contribute to the advancement of the network as well as the Foundation’s communication channels such as the newsletter or the blog. The introductory week (“Swiss Week”) at the Jacobs Foundation takes place in Zurich, Switzerland during late spring, and attendance by Fellowship recipients, before both the first and second year of study, is highly recommended. All travel expenses are covered by the Jacobs Foundation.

The Spivack Social Impact Fellowship supports MBA students at the Haas School of Business demonstrating experience and pursuing a career in social impact.

The Center for Responsible Business Fellowship is awarded to students who best demonstrate their commitment to responsible and sustainable business and their desire to engage with and support the Center for Responsible Business at Berkeley Haas. Each year, one candidate is selected earning the title “CRB Fellow.” This individual serves as a point person between the Center for Responsible Business and the Haas student body and receives an automatic placement on the CRB Student Advisory Board to help set the agenda for the CRB.

The Forté works to empower female MBA students. No additional funding is awarded.

Reaching Out MBA works to empower LGBT MBA students. No additional funding is awarded.

The Consortium works to empower those committed to Diversity. For the Consortium, prospective students apply for admission through the Consortium process and those admitted usually receive a Fellowship Designation whether or not they also receive a monetary award.

The Full-Time MBA Parent Grant has been established to provide support to registered graduate student parents who live with dependent children and demonstrate financial need.

This grant is intended to provide funding for students who demonstrate need and are not eligible for the parent grants offered through the Graduate Division and Berkeley International Office.

Grant recipients will have funds applied toward their cost of attendance. This resource will be coordinated with other aid that you are receiving and as such may result in reductions to loan eligibility.

Awards will vary and are contingent on fund availability. All parents are welcome to apply. Awarding priority will be as follows:

• First-year international students
• Second-year international students
• Domestic students

The application for 2018-19 is now open and will close on April 15, 2019.

Haas is proud to collaborate with the Mexican non-profit agency, FUNED as a part of their FUNED Scholars program. The organization offers educational funding support for students from Mexico who demonstrates extreme financial need and are pursuing masters degrees at competitive academic programs worldwide.

MBA applicants will have to submit their applications to FUNED and be approved as a scholar prior to receiving consideration for the Haas – FUNED grant.

Admits must also apply for our need-based Berkeley MBA Need- Based Grant. The commitment from Haas is two awards of $10,000 each academic year.  We will prioritize first-year students who have received the Berkeley MBA Grant and then second-year students with Berkeley MBA Grant. The award may be renewed in the second year provided there is sufficient funding.
