In addition to the financing options provided through Wharton and Penn Law, Lauder fellowships are also available. The amount varies from $5,000 to full Lauder fees. Students interested in being considered for Lauder Institute fellowships should complete information sent at the time of admission.
Thanks to the generosity of Leonard Lauder, five awards will be given to MBA/MA “Leonard Lauder Fellows.” These awards will cover the Lauder fee over two years. Recipients will be chosen from the top students in each class, and the selection will be based solely on the basis of academic merit, not on financial need.
