Next fall’s entering MBA Class of 2010 will include up to ten students who have received $20,000 fellowships based on their academic or professional excellence in the field of life sciences. Financial support from the Life Sciences Fellowship Fund will be awarded to recipients regardless of need (unlike all other HBS financial-aid offerings), and recipients will still be eligible to receive need-based assistance over and above their fellowships.

Possible candidates for the fellowships would include physicians, lab scientists, and biotech professionals, as well as individuals with strong undergraduate science backgrounds. Preference will be given to students planning careers in science-based businesses and organizations.

The new fellowships reflect the growing emphasis at HBS on preparing leaders for the life-sciences and health-care industries, a goal that gave rise to the creation of the MD/MBA joint degree program with Harvard Medical School in 2005. “We’re proud of this new fellowship program and its focus on students interested in science-related careers,” says Deirdre Leopold (MBA ’80), managing director of MBA Admissions and Financial Aid at HBS. “It builds on the unique academic strengths and extraordinary resources of the School and helps address the increasing need for management and leadership skills in the life-sciences professions.”
