ハーバード・ビジネス・スクール 留学: Harvard Business School To Raise $1 billion!

Harvard Business School publicly launched a capital campaign to raise $1 billion over the next five years, the largest amount of money to ever be raised by a business school.

It has already raised $600 million in gifts and pledges since 2012. The overall goal is part of Harvard University’s $6.5 billion campaign.

The $1 billion goal is the most ambitious fundraising goal for a school of business in history. Harvard already has the largest endowment at $2.9 billion, and the highest level of assets, more than $3.8.

This is the fourth campaign since the School’s founding in 1908. The last HBS campaign brought in $600 million between 2000 and 2005. 

Rivals regard HBS has vast resources that make it nearly impossible to compete against. Harvard Business School, for example, is already giving out $32 million in fellowship aid to 1,800 MBA students.
