McGowan Charitable Fund’s McGowan Fellows Program. Through the program, a rising Second Year full-time MBA student at Darden will be selected as a McGowan Fellow and receive a full-tuition scholarship, in addition to a host of experiential leadership development opportunities.
The Darden McGowan Fellow will join a cohort of fellows from nine other top business schools, such as the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management and MIT’s Sloan School of Management. The 10-member cohort of second-year MBA students receive training from the renowned Center for Creative Leadership, engage with McGowan Alumni Coaches, participate in a collective social impact project, learn from experts in business leadership and ethics, and network with peers at a series of retreats and an annual symposium.
