We are able to really create a support system, so that our relationships can last beyond our time at CBS. I really believe that a rising tide lifts all boats and if we support one another we can really all succeed together.

Since 2015, Columbia Business School has awarded $12 million in Laidlaw scholarships for women who otherwise could not attend business school.

Next year, $3 million will be given to members of the class of 2022. They will receive a world-class education and join the community of Laidlaw Columbia Business Scholars.

To join the Class of 2022, apply no later than April 10, 2020. Admissions are rolling, so applying earlier is always recommended.

LAIDLAW COLUMBIA BUSINESS SCHOLARS AT COLUMBIA BUSINESS SCHOOL

The Laidlaw Scholarship provides crucial financial assistance to exceptional Columbia Business School women who might not otherwise be able to afford business school. In addition to an unparalleled education, they receive entrée into an expanding community of talented Laidlaw Columbia Business Scholars (LCBS). Through programming, mentorship, and organizational partnerships, the LCBS community supports and augments members’ success both at school and on into their careers.

To date, nearly 300 students from 30 countries have received the Laidlaw Scholarship and joined the global Laidlaw Scholars network.

Knowing that Columbia has roughly 40% women is really important to me. When you’re surrounded by female colleagues in your classroom, you definitely feel empowered.
