Additional Harvard Funding

We complement our need-based Harvard Business School (HBS) Scholarships with a small number of other awards for students with specific backgrounds and interests. The majority of these awards are available to qualified students, even if they did not receive need-based financial aid.

George Leadership Fellowship

Open to HBS students in the third year of the joint degree program with Harvard Kennedy School (HKS), the fellowship reflects the foundation's commitment to enhancing public service by investing in character formation and leadership development.

Horace W. Goldsmith Fellowship

Open to students demonstrating nonprofit leadership.

Forward Fellowship

The Forward Fellowship is designed to support students from lower-income backgrounds who have carried significant financial burdens or obligations.

John H. McArthur Canadian Fellowship

Open to students from all regions of Canada.

Junior Achievement Fellowship

Open to students with Junior Achievement experience.

RISE Fellowship

The Recognizing Individuals Seeking Equity (RISE) Fellowship will be awarded to up to ten MBA students of any background who have demonstrated exemplary commitment to serving Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, and other marginalized communities of color within the US.

Harvard University General Scholarships

The Committee on General Scholarships administers a small number of special scholarship and fellowship programs that support graduate and undergraduate students across Harvard University. In late winter, a poll is made available to Round 1 admitted students and current students admitted in Round 2. You cannot apply directly to the Committee on General Scholarships and must use the HBS poll.

Harvard University offers several fellowships for study-related travel. These fellowships are administered by the Harvard University Committee on General Scholarships. For further information, visit the Traveling Fellowships section of the Committee on General Scholarships website. (Please note: Traveling Fellowships are generally incompatible with the HBS academic schedule.)
