What Are the Details?
Who: The fellowship is open to 25 students per fellowship class. Students may apply from any major, but should demonstrate an interest in business.
Cost: The Summer Institute is an all-expense-paid fellowship that includes airfare; full room and board at campus dormitories; transportation; the cost of materials, events and entertainment that are part of the program; and a small weekly stipend to cover miscellaneous expenses.
What: Students attend for two weeks a year, for two consecutive years. The 2012 session will run the last two weeks of May (May 20 - June 2). Upon completing their second session, students are issued a Certificate of Completion as an emerging manager and leader in business that can be cited on their resume or provided as evidence of marketable skills. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to secure internships.
Where: As a systemwide initiative, the program will rotate throughout the University of California's six participating business schools. The Institute's inaugural session will be held in the San Francisco Bay Area at University of California, Berkeley in partnership with the Haas School of Business, a global leader in sustainability research and responsible business practices. Haas benefits from, and contributes to, a Bay Area ecosystem of business innovation that includes linked sub-systems in bio-science, venture capital, high technology, clean energy, Silicon Valley, and San Francisco's Mission Bay.
