At Wells Fargo, we recognize that a diverse supplier base enhances our supply chain and generates efficiency and innovation for the benefit of our customers and communities.  An important component of Wells Fargo’s supplier diversity strategy is to grow current and potential small and diverse suppliers.  For over 10 years, Wells Fargo and Tuck Executive Education at Dartmouth have worked together to provide equitable opportunities for diverse-owned businesses to grow and scale. The Wells Fargo Scholarship Fund program created scholarships for Tuck Diversity Business Programs, so that certified minority, women, veteran, LGBTQIA, and disabled entrepreneurs will be able to attend one of Tuck’s programs.

 I am pleased to share the Wells Fargo scholarship applications are now open for the Growing an Established Diverse Business program! 

• Program Dates are June 25-30.
• Deadline to apply is April 28.

About the Growing an Established Diverse Business Program:

This one-week in-person program from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth is designed for emerging entrepreneurs who are looking to build a strong foundation of business knowledge and learn how to be a better supplier to corporations.

During this program, participants work closely with Tuck’s accomplished faculty on key areas that entrepreneurs need to master for success, including strategy, marketing, financial analysis, operations, management, and leadership. Participants learn to market to the right customers and showcase their value; assess financial statements to manage cash flow and increase profits; and hone their approach to leadership so they can recruit, motivate, and retain their most talented employees.

About Tuck Diversity Business Programs

The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth was the first U.S. institution of higher education to offer executive programs dedicated to advancing the capabilities of underserved entrepreneurs and executives. Since setting the standard in 1980, Tuck has continuously honed its program, expanding and refining what is covered to create the maximum impact on the businesses of its attendees.
