The Reaching Out MBA Fellowship is a joint award from Reaching Out MBA and London Business School for a student admitted to the LBS MBA. It supports leadership and community participation during the London-based MBA.
LBS publishes one award worth £20,000. Every MBA admit may apply, irrespective of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, and the school sends the fellowship application invitation after admission.

Eligibility
- Applicants must first be admitted to the London Business School MBA.
- All LBS MBA admits may apply, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
- No nationality, residency or age restriction is published for the fellowship.
