Forte Foundation Now Accepting Applications for MBALaunch for Women Program

The Forté Foundation this year is piloting a unique new program designed to help women who are planning to pursue an MBA degree navigate the application process. Called MBALaunch for Women, the 10-month program will provide participants with guidance, access to valuable resources and ongoing feedback on the application process. Admission is selective, and applications are now being accepted.

MBALaunch for Women is a hands-on program designed to help participants become the best MBA candidates possible. After a one-day launch event, participants will take part in monthly webinars and peer group meetings and receive one-on-one feedback from an experienced advisor. “Our line-up of speakers, workshops, resources and advisors will help you ‘get it done’ but also inspire you along the way so that you feel good about your future and how the MBA will support your personal and professional goals,” reads a statement announcing the program.

MBALaunch for Women is for women interested in applying to an MBA program in fall 2013, for enrollment in fall 2014. To be considered, applicants must have solid academic standing and a bachelor’s degree and be willing to commit significant time and energy throughout the 10-month program. Applicants with at least one year of post-undergrad work experience are preferred. Applicants must be located in or near Chicago, New York City and Washington, DC, where the in-person portions of the program will be delivered each month. (Forté hopes to expand the number of locations next year.)

To apply, interested women must complete an application form, provide a $25 non-refundable application fee and answer five essay questions. The deadline for Round One is November 30th, and the deadline for Round Two is December 14th.
