Recognizing the increasing complexities of managing nonprofit organizations, the Harvard Business School Club of Wisconsin is striving to enhance the skills and knowledge of nonprofit executive leaders through participation in these courses.  Each scholarship will pay for the course fee which covers tuition, books, case materials, accommodations, and most meals. Each chosen agency is responsible for any other expenses, including travel and personal items.  It is anticipated that up to three scholarships will be awarded in 2019.

Applicants must be the CEO, President, or Executive Director of a Wisconsin nonprofit organization responsible for shaping the direction, mission, policies and major programs of their organization that serve the public in human services, arts, education, environment, health care, community development or related areas.

The following criteria must be met by applicants:

Harvard Business School as in its enrollment process, will not consider applications from management support organizations or consulting firms.  In a limited number of cases, representatives from industry/trade associations may be considered although these organizations must have a nonprofit focus on operational challenges that are covered in the program.
