Social Enterprise Initiative

Summer Fellowship Program

Getting Started


The HBS Social Enterprise Summer Fellowship program was formed in 1982 to provide financial support to MBA students working within social enterprises during the summer to address important managerial issues utilizing their analytic and strategic skills.

Process

Students secure a summer opportunity with a nonprofit organization, government agency, or social-value focused for-profit organization in the U.S. or abroad.

  • Organizations may reach students by posting positions through HBS Career Services
  • Students may apply for posted positions or find a job on their own

Students apply for the fellowship and must meet eligibility requirements and selection criteria for the application to be accepted. Students manage the application process, and work directly with the organization on necessary information, including a detailed sponsorship letter from the organization and the organization's IRS letter designating not for profit [501(c)(3)] status (if applicable).
