The Harvard Business School Club of Wisconsin is offering scholarships for nonprofit leaders to attend a leadership program at Harvard Business School.
Harvard Business School’s Social Enterprise Certificate Program, which runs from July 27 to Aug. 2, provides management education and professional networking opportunities. The scholarship application portal opens on Feb. 1 and the submission deadline is Feb. 28.
The club has sponsored this scholarship program for 26 years. The scholarship covers tuition, books, on-campus accommodations and most meals. Participants must cover their own travel.
Chad Tessmer, executive director of the Milwaukee Youth Arts Foundation, was awarded the scholarship in 2024.
“My scholarship was a gift on multiple levels: faculty teaching incredible lessons at the right time, 162 impressive nonprofit leaders from around the world, and a thoughtfully designed learning environment” Tessmer said in a statement.
