FlexMBA Fellowships: Support Emerging Leaders

The Rady School of Management at UC San Diego is pleased to announce new fellowships created to support emerging leaders in San Diego’s life sciences or technology companies. These fellowships have been generously funded by the Rady Alumni Association, the Burnham Family Foundation, Pauline Foster and Family, the Michael and Karen Stone Family Foundation and donors to the 2009 Rady Pinnacle Awards and Alumni Gala.

Fellowships will be awarded to individuals joining the Fall 2009 entering class of the Rady FlexWeekend MBA program. The Rady FlexWeekend MBA is designed for working professionals driven to make an impact in the innovation-driven economy. Students attend classes on Friday and Saturday of alternating weekends, minimizing the time away from work.

These fellowships are open to professionals currently working in the San Diego life sciences or technology sector. Individuals selected will demonstrate:

  • a commitment to the region and to their industry
  • significant contributions to their organizations
  • the potential to make a significant impact in sustaining and enhancing San Diego’s innovation-focused business community

Fellowship applicants must show the support of their companies, as evidenced by the commitment of matching funds in support of the applicant’s enrollment in the FlexWeekend MBA program. Individuals must formally apply and be admitted to the Rady FlexWeekend MBA program. Four fellowships will be awarded to Fall 2009 entrants to the FlexWeekend MBA.

The Rady School actively seeks applications directly from qualified professionals interested in fellowship opportunities, as well as nominations from employing companies and our business community partners. Information on the Rady FlexWeekend MBA program and our admissions process can be found at http://rady.ucsd.edu/mba/flex.
