Donor-Funded Scholarships

What drew me to Yale SOM was its mission to improve both business and society, which is unique for a business school. We are asked to think about how our work and our decisions will impact the government, the planet, and our own workforces, among other stakeholders. I believe it is a more holistic and fair-minded ethos for our times.
