At the Case Western Reserve University Weatherhead School of Management, scholarships are not simply a means of access - they are a strategic investment in the kind of leaders the world needs now.
In an increasingly competitive global environment, scholarship support enables Weatherhead to attract and support exceptional talent, strengthen academic excellence and ensure that financial barriers do not limit leadership potential. Philanthropic investment in scholarships and student opportunities directly advances Weatherhead’s mission to develop principled, innovative leaders prepared to make a meaningful impact in organizations and society.
Ways to Support Weatherhead Students
Weatherhead partners with donors to create scholarship and student-support opportunities aligned with their philanthropic goals and the school’s strategic priorities.
Endowed Scholarships
Endowed scholarships provide a permanent, sustainable source of support for students by generating annual awards in perpetuity. These funds may be named to honor an individual, family or organization and represent a lasting commitment to Weatherhead’s future and values.
Endowments allow Weatherhead to act with long-term vision-supporting talent intentionally and consistently across generations.
Named or Annual Scholarships
Annual and named scholarships offer donors the opportunity to make an immediate impact through student awards each academic year. These gifts provide flexibility and can be structured to reflect specific areas of interest or priority, while responding to the evolving needs of the school.
Student Experience and Opportunity Funds
Donors may also invest in funds that enhance learning beyond the classroom, including:
- Global and domestic immersion experiences
- Leadership development initiatives
- Experiential learning projects and competitions
- Career-shaping opportunities that prepare students for real-world leadership
These investments ensure that students can fully engage in the transformative experiences that distinguish a Weatherhead education.
Stewardship and Partnership
Weatherhead is deeply grateful to the alumni, friends and partners whose generosity has established scholarships and student support funds over the years. Their commitment strengthens access, academic excellence and leadership development across the school.
We view philanthropy as a partnership and are committed to thoughtful stewardship, transparency and meaningful engagement with donors at every level. Donor investment plays a central role in shaping Weatherhead’s present impact and long-term trajectory.
