"The Alumni Leadership Scholarship was critical to supporting my career ambition to create broader social impact through business. The scholarship enabled to me to join a growing social enterprise supporting minority women groups in India as a volunteer strategist. Furthermore, the leadership recognition was a core part of my profile that aided admittance to the MBA program at Stanford and the MPP program at Harvard, where I am currently continuing to explore how to leverage business for social impact. I am incredibly grateful to FBE and the alumni donors who have made this scholarship possible."
