Program Costs

We believe that education should be a level playing field. Everyone, regardless of background, should have access to high-quality preparation programs that fulfill their educational aspirations. For that reason, we created the Ivy Fellows program. We want to increase minority representation in the business landscape and invest in the next generation of leaders.

The value of the programming, curriculum, coaching, courses, and intellectual capital is a fraction of the true market cost of these programs. The current market value of a similar program is $8,000-$20,000 per person.

Program costs of the Ivy Fellows MBA Prep program:

$50 Non-refundable application fee
