Here’s a golden opportunity for international women aspiring to power through the world of business leadership — the Forté MBA Fellowship is more than just a scholarship; it’s your passport to a world of influence, opportunity, and lifelong connections.
Whether you’re dreaming of entering the C-suite, starting your own business, or influencing change in global markets, the Forté Fellowship opens that door with prestige and purpose. With over $475 million in fellowships awarded and 19,000+ Forté Fellows globally, this program has become a transformative force in the business education landscape, especially for women ready to shatter ceilings.
What Is the Forté Fellowship?
The Forté Fellowship is a competitive and distinguished award granted by Forté partner business schools to students who exemplify leadership, diversity, and a strong commitment to advancing women in business. It’s not just a financial reward — it’s an entry into a dynamic community that will support your growth from MBA to CEO and beyond.
Forté doesn’t just want you to succeed in business — they want you to lead it.
Who Can Apply?
The fellowship is open to students of all nationalities and gender identities. If you’re applying for an MBA program — full-time, part-time, executive, dual degree, or online — at a Forté partner school, you’ll automatically be considered for the fellowship during the admissions process.
Each partner school determines who receives the Forté Fellowship based on leadership, professional background, and commitment to the Forté mission.
