INFORMATION SESSIONS

Kellogg Board Fellows holds two information sessions at the start of every school year. Incoming first-year students are required to attend a session to learn more about the program’s application process, timeline and commitment.
 

APPLYING

The application has two parts:
  • Written application
  • Group case interview (by invitation only)
The written application is due September 29, 2017. Students must apply for the program during their first year of study at Kellogg. Eligible students include those enrolled in the Full-Time MBA Program (2Y Program), MMM Program, JD-MBA Program and MD-MBA Program at Northwestern University.  Nonprofit experience is not required for admission to the program; however, applicants must demonstrate passion for social impact and civic leadership.
 

SELECTION AND MATCHING PROCESS

Applications are reviewed by the student leadership team, and program staff and faculty. Admission to the program is competitive, and only 50 students are selected for the program each year. Fellows are notified of their acceptance to the program by mid-October. 

In December, fellows receive information on participating nonprofit organizations and rank their preferences. The program uses an algorithm, which accounts for these preferences, to match each student to a nonprofit partner. In 2017, more than half of fellows received their first choice.
