As graduate degrees become more sought after in the workplace, Chicago Booth and local nonprofit – Chicago Scholars – are joining forces to establish a pipeline for students to attend graduate level programs like Chicago Booth, as well as create a longstanding relationship with real impact in the Chicagoland area.
