Beecken Scholarships

Beecken Scholarships provide selected students substantial scholarships to attend summer business ‘bridge’ programs at:

• Dartmouth College (Tuck)
• University of California–Berkeley (Haas)
• University of Chicago (Booth)
• The University of Texas at Austin (McCombs).

Business bridge programs are designed to acclimate liberal arts students to the world of business; to introduce students to management, team building, strategy, marketing, organizational development, accounting and finance skills; to expose students to business leaders, and to provide students networking opportunities with representatives of major corporations and students from other top-tier liberal arts programs.

Successful applicants automatically receive 50 percent of the cost of tuition, room and board to attend approved summer bridge programs at one of these top business schools, not to exceed $5,000. However, students may apply for up to 100 percent of costs, contingent upon need.
