Jonas Weil Entrepreneur Fellowship

The Johnson School offers a loan forgiveness fellowship to alumni who are engaged in a viable entrepreneurial endeavor. Applicants for this program must have outstanding student loans from their enrollment at the Johnson School and be exclusively engaged in an entrepreneurial venture- their business may not be a secondary source of income. Jonas Weil initiated the fund in an effort to relieve our graduates of the burden of student loan debt.

Those selected to receive the fellowship will receive up to $5,000 from the Johnson School to make student loan payments for the year of the award. The amount of the fellowship is determined by the amount of outstanding student education loan debt accrued while in attendance at the Johnson School and the actual/projected income. If there are more candidates than resources, priority will be determined based on need.

We review candidates twice a year- once in January and once in July. For more information and application, email FinancialAid@johnson.cornell.edu.
