Marketing Fellowships
Each year, the Kilts Center offers a unique Marketing Fellowship program that combines $25,000 in annual scholarship assistance with a mentoring relationship for two years. The mentoring component provides Marketing Fellows the opportunity to interact with a senior marketing executive, giving them an edge over their peers when they are ready to enter the job market.
Through generous donations from our Kilts Center Steering Committee members and matching funds from Jim Kilts, ’74, 30 Marketing Fellowships have been awarded in the first five years of the program. The Kilts Center aims to more than double the current number of Fellows in future years.
Marketing Fellowships are awarded in all three rounds of admissions to the Full-Time MBA Program. All admitted students are considered for a Marketing Fellowship; however, they need to meet the following criteria:
- Plan to choose a concentration in marketing
- Plan to pursue a marketing or general management career after graduation
- Have a demonstrated track record of professional and academic excellence
Students will receive a fellowship in the name of their steering committee sponsor (or designate) and will interact with their sponsor over the course of their MBA program.
The Kilts Center hosts a yearly program introducing the Marketing Fellows and Kilts Scholars.
