Educational access and excellence in research and teaching are the backbone of the student experience at Wharton and Penn. Financial aid attracts the best students from every background; abundant resources for groundbreaking research and innovative teaching attracts star professors. Bolstering our ability to better support all students and faculty is one of the essential drivers of this campaign.
A named scholarship provides much needed aid to students for whom attending Penn would be an unbearable financial burden. Students who receive aid graduate with significantly less debt than they would otherwise – meaning they can choose a career path based on their passions, not on their financial obligations. For many students, financial assistance means that they can work less during the school year and participate in leadership activities; summers can be spent on horizon-expanding travel and internships that will help them achieve their career goals.
An elite business education is still in demand – and the best students are as well. Students admitted to Wharton are the cream of the crop; other business schools can entice them with significant financial aid packages. Merit-based fellowships for MBA students ensure that Wharton continues to attract up-and-coming leaders, those who are unafraid to take risks and who constantly challenge themselves and their peers in the classroom.
But the MBA experience at Wharton is much more than just coursework. Wharton offers students immersive local and international experiences such as Leadership Ventures and Global Modular Courses. The cost of these offerings go beyond tuition and fees; Wharton is increasingly committed to providing students with financial support to take advantage of these life-changing opportunities.

“I believe so deeply in the mission of Wharton and have spent a good part of my life trying to develop the Wharton brand. When I see students of the highest quality being able to come and learn and exercise their natural talents, it gives me a sense of pride and accomplishment in terms of contributing something to Wharton that is meaningful.”
