You’ve already seen the Annual Fund in action. Here are some ways giving has directly impacted our experience as MBA students:
Research Center and Initiative Funds
These funds are essential to each center and initiative, from sponsored industry treks to underwritten events with reduced ticket prices.
Research Center and Initiative Funds
Student Experience Fund
This fund supported the renovation of the May Lounge at Harper Center, provided sponsorship for the Community Fund within GBC and SAC, and underwrote costs for Booth Family Dinners.

Scholarship Fund
This fund supported scholarship offers. The amount of available scholarship funds expanded to all Booth programs and doubled over the past five years thanks to donors.

We will celebrate in May with the Part-Time MBA students at their Graduation SQA and with the Full-Time MBA students at their Graduation LPF.

“As a current student, I recognize that my life-changing Booth experience has only been possible thanks to the generosity of generations of alumni paying it forward. I want to continue that tradition and leave Booth a better place than when I started my MBA journey—this is why I find it important to pay it forward via Class Gift.”
Andrew Budd, 2025 MBA candidate and Class Gift Committee Member
"I give to Booth because this community has given me so much—from lifelong friendships to career-defining opportunities. Supporting the class gift is one small way to invest in the future of Booth and the students who come next."
Puja Javalagi, 2025 MBA candidate
