This fund provides scholarships for underrepresented minority students at Carey. Award amounts vary.

Summer Business Academy

The Summer Business Academy selects rising college juniors and seniors for a weeklong immersive experience including a case competition, a field trip/service experience, and discussions and exercises with Carey alumni and faculty. The Academy is specially built to connect with students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities and help them explore how a business education might accelerate their career.

Michael Weaver was an inaugural academy scholar in 2019 when he was a rising senior at Howard University majoring in business finance. [The experience] “has definitely exceeded my expectations” he said. “Coming in as one of the first cohort members, to have this experience, I believe I’ve gained a lot more than I expected. Between the case studies, the speakers, it has really allowed us to walk away from this experience feeling like we’re more inclined to develop who we are, not just as individuals, but how we can make changes in the workplace and go from here.”
