Stanford MBA Program: The Reliance Dhirubhai Fellowship, USA

Overview

Reliance Industries Limited has generously created the Reliance Dhirubhai Fellowhip to support Indian nationals living in India with financial need in obtaining an MBA at Stanford.

Each year, Stanford may award up to five Fellowships:

- Fellows will receive full financial support for the two-year Stanford MBA Program and for all fees associated with applying and attending.
- Reliance and Stanford are dedicated to developing the next generation of leaders in India who are committed to the country's human and socio-economic progress.
- Within two years of completing their Stanford MBA studies, Reliance Dhirubhai Fellows are required to return to India for a period of at least two years employment in the public or private sector.

STAGE 1: Complete the Reliance Dhirubhai Fellowship application
Up to 50 Reliance Dhirubhai Fellows Finalists will be selected based on:

Merit
Commitment to developing India
Financial need

STAGE 2: Reliance Dhirubhai Fellowship finalists complete the standard application process for the Stanford MBA Program

Please note: As part of the MBA admission process, Reliance Dhirubhai Fellowship finalists will be required to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). Finalists will be issued a voucher good for one free GMAT exam. The RDF finalists will bear none of the costs associated with exams or application fees. However, if you have already taken or paid to take the GMAT, Stanford will not provide reimbursement.

Stanford may select up to five Reliance Dhirubhai Fellows from among the finalists based on its primary admission criteria:

- Intellectual vitality
- Demonstrated leadership potential
- Personal qualities and contributions


How do I submit a Reliance Dhirubhai Fellowship application?

The application (see table above for schedule) includes, among other things:

Educational history and scores: 10th board exams, 12th board exams, Joint Entrance Exam (JEE), and/or Common Admission Test (CAT) if available
Awards and honors (academic or social)
Employment history and aspirations
Resume/curriculum vitae (C.V.)
250-word essay question
Individual financial information


How does this Fellowship differ from others offered to MBA students from other countries?

This fellowship is funded directly by Reliance Industries, Ltd. There are very few full fellowships available to MBA students, covering all financial costs related to tuition, books, accommodation, and travel. The Reliance Dhirubhai Fellowship is the only full fellowship for Indian MBA students.

What is the value of a Reliance Dhirubhai Fellowship?

Each Reliance Dhirubhai Fellow will receive the full cost of attendance, including tuition, living allowance, books and supplies, course materials, medical insurance, study trip, and travel. For the current year, this is approximately $85,000 for a single student and $95,000 for a married student per year.
