About The Consortium:

Founded in 1966, The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management has evolved into an alliance of 14 top universities, over 70 leading corporations and strategic partners, more than 5500 alumni and 530 current students. The Consortium is a leading resource for access to a quality business education and managerial positions in corporate America.

The mission of The Consortium is to enhance diversity in business education and leadership by helping to reduce the serious underrepresentation of African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans in both our member schools' enrollment and the ranks of management. We will achieve this mission by recruiting for graduate business education qualified U.S. citizens and permanent residents from these underrepresented groups, as well as other persons who can demonstrate a commitment to The Consortium's mission and can best assist The Consortium in pursuing this mission.

Consortium representatives, alumni and students recruit applicants by attending MBA fairs, professional conferences and by hosting information sessions throughout the United States. The Consortium awards over $12 million in full-tuition, merit based, MBA fellowships annually, and have been instrumental in assisting more than 5,500 underrepresented minority students earn their MBAs and advance their careers in corporate America.
