As an MBA student, you have an enviable amount of career paths to choose from. Your skills are going to be in high demand. So are those of J.P. Morgan people.
The J.P. Morgan Launching Leaders MBA Scholarship gives talented Black, Hispanic and Native American students the chance to fulfill their career ambitions and carve out an outstanding reputation with one of the world's leading innovators in banking and business.
The immediate rewards are just as impressive. Scholarship winners will receive positions in our prestigious Summer Associate Investment Banking Program and a scholarship toward first-year tuition fees – money that goes directly to you. And, if you accept a full-time position with us, the scholarship will continue into your second year.
As an MBA in our Investment Banking program, you will be assigned a mentor to support you throughout the year and during your summer with us. And not just anyone, either – your mentor will be a senior executive at the firm. He or she will guide you and monitor your progress. Work hard, make a good impression, and we’ll offer you a full-time position.
There’s no better way to launch a career in investment banking. If you’ve got the talent and ambition, we’ve got the programs and support networks to get the very best out of them.
