Welcome to HBS LGBT Student Association, Student Clubs of HBS, Inc.

Harvard Business School
Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Fellowship

Alumni, faculty, staff, supporters and current students of Harvard Business School have initiated a $250,000 fundraising campaign to establish the HBS LGBT Fellowship at Harvard Business School. This endowment will be one of the first if its kind at any business school and will send a powerful message about inclusion and community at HBS. The LGBT Fellowship will attract top LGBT students and encourage them to be out and open about their sexual orientation and/or gender identity, while at the same time help to reconnect alumni with the school and send a message to administrators that alumni support their diversity efforts.

Each year, the LGBT Fellowship will be used to provide financial assistance to deserving MBA students in accordance with the financial aid policies of the School. Diversity among the student body is a foundation for the HBS experience - both inside and outside of the classroom - and sexual orientation and gender identity are significant contributors to the diversity at HBS. Preference will be given to LGBT Student Association members.

This organization is open to all students at HBS and subscribes to the following mission: to foster a positive environment and build a professional network for club members by increasing LGBT visibility, educating peers and colleagues, and raising awareness of LGBT issues at HBS and in the broader business world.

Fellowships are a key priority at HBS because they ensure that the School attracts and enrolls the most talented students, regardless of their financial circumstances. The resulting endowment will enable HBS to attract top LGBT students to HBS and to encourage students to be out and open about their sexual orientation and gender identity while at HBS.
