The Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management provides a top-tier business education across six MBA programs, three master’s programs, and a PhD in management program. We have more than 15,000 alumni around the world. You can find our graduates in nearly every industry, including consulting, entrepreneurship, investment banking, and technology. As a part of the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, our school is focused on building people-centered leaders who are empowered to do the greatest good.

Gifts to the Johnson School Annual Fund empower our students to do business for good—pairing their skills, knowledge, and expertise with opportunities to innovate and explore what it means to drive positive, lasting change in some of the most vital industries.

I have received support from the Johnson School to pursue an unpaid internship and also travel to the United Nations HQ in New York for a roundtable on the subject of education. If it wasn’t for the grants, I would not be able to pursue these opportunities, which have truly enriched my Johnson School experience.
