Since 2018, Johns Hopkins Carey Business School has been proud to partner with Reaching Out MBA, also referred to as ROMBA, an organization whose purpose is to empower LGBTQ+ students pursuing MBAs to become professionals who will lead the way to equality in business education, in the workplace, and throughout society. The organization offers a fellowship to LGBTQ+ business leaders in the full-time Johns Hopkins MBA, part-time Online Flexible MBA, and the Design Leadership (MA/MBA) dual degree. Fellows will receive access to professional development and networking events during their time at Carey and beyond.

For important details regarding VA Education Benefits, please visit JHU’s Veteran Affairs website. For the quickest response, please submit all questions or submission of eligibility status to JHU’s Veteran Benefits Inquiry.
Students are certified on a per-semester basis, meaning benefits do not automatically roll over from one semester to another. Students must complete the Third-Party Payer agreement each semester in order to request certification. The agreement can be found on the billing tab in your SIS account. Please select VA and the Chapter that you are using for that particular semester. For example, VA Chapter 33. Next, read the student acknowledgment section, check the box to acknowledge, sign, and submit.
Students utilizing VA education benefits must immediately let their school certifying official know of any change in their enrollment status or program that might affect the amount of their payment from the VA. Submit your information to JHU’s Veteran Benefits Inquiry.
