PhD Project Application Open to Students

The PhD project is an initiative that encourages Black/African Americans, Latinx/Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans to pursue their PhDs in business to serve as role models and mentors for underrepresented business students.

The PhD Project conference is March 21-22, 2024 in Chicago; Students can apply to attend the conference. The PhD Project covers the cost of registration, travel, hotel, and conference expenses. If a School of Business student is selected to attend, we will cover the costs of a few expenses not covered (e.g., extra transportation and food expenses).

To be eligible to apply, students must be:

• Black/African American, Latinx/Hispanic American or Native American
• A U.S. citizen, permanent U.S. resident, or DACA recipient
• In his/her senior year of college by the time they attend the conference (or already possess an undergraduate degree).

Please forward this to students who you think might be interested. The application deadline is January 31. More information available in the PDF below.
