The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management is an alliance of some of the world’s leading graduate business schools and business organizations, and its aim is to enhance inclusion in global business education and leadership. The organization strives to accomplish that aim by recruiting MBA prospects who share a “demonstrated commitment” to that mission.
The Consortium offers a streamlined MBA application process that allows candidates who have demonstrated their support of its mission to apply to multiple member schools at once while also being evaluated for membership to The Consortium. Applicants who are accepted to The Consortium are granted access to exclusive events and the entire Consortium network. In addition, they are considered for a merit scholarship to one or more of the member schools to which they have applied.
You should consider submitting your business school application(s) via The Consortium if any of the following apply to you:
- You have a proven record of promoting inclusion at school, in your job(s), and/or in your personal life by advancing the interests of people who have been underrepresented, underresourced, and/or underestimated.
- You plan to apply to one or more of The Consortium’s member schools.
- You are a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or DACA recipient.
To maximize your chances of being selected for Consortium membership and fellowship, you need to craft a submission that shows your commitment to The Consortium’s mission of enhancing inclusion in global business education and leadership.
