The mission of the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management, an alliance of leading American business schools, is to enhance diversity in business education and leadership by helping reduce the serious underrepresentation of African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans in both business and business school.

As one of the founding members of the Consortium the Wisconsin MBA has been committed to this mission since 1966.

Students who have done significant work toward providing opportunities for African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans are invited to apply through the Consortium.

U.S. Citizens and permanent residents who can demonstrate a commitment to the Consortium’s mission can use the Consortium’s coordinated application to apply to the University of Wisconsin Madison, Wisconsin MBA and compete for a Consortium Fellowship.

Consortium Fellowships are provided by the Wisconsin MBA and include full tuition, health insurance and a stipend for the duration of your MBA.
