Early Leaders Award Program

Simon Graduate School of Business (University of Rochester) and Lewis & Clark College

Regardless of your major, if you are a Lewis & Clark College student who is mature, academically strong, and interested in earning an MBA degree after receiving your Lewis & Clark Bachelors of Arts, you have a special opportunity. Through an agreement with the Simon School of Business at the University of Rochester, Lewis & Clark College can nominate up to five candidates per year to the Simon Schools Early Leaders Award Program. As a Lewis & Clark College student who is nominated to the program, your application fees are waived, and, if accepted, you receive a minimum $5,000 per year merit based scholarship. Students are encouraged to apply by the end of their Junior year, in part so that pre-MBA internships for accepted students can be provided.
