Leaders of each of the B-School’s affiliate LGBTQ+ clubs have been issued registration password to access registration. If you attend a school on this list, please contact your club leadership for the registration password. If you need introductions, email info@reachingoutmba.org for a request.

If your school does not have an LGBTQ+ club, fill out this form requesting an individual registration password.

UPDATE: As of 9/6, all funding reserved for the Student Access Fund has been awarded and we are no longer accepting applications.

Yes, the James Robertson Student Access Fund provides funding up to $500 USD to LGBTQ+ students to attend Reaching Out events.

We ask that students capable of personally covering travel costs and those that receive funding from their school or LGBTQ+ Club reconsider applying. This allows us to provide funding to more students that otherwise would not be able to participate.

If you have not yet approached your school and/or LGBTQ+ Club about financial support, we will be more than happy to provide the necessary information for you to do so. If, after accessing different forms of funds and reflecting on your personal financial capacity, you find yourself in need of additional assistance, you may complete the application for funding.

While this conference is designed by LGBTQ+ MBA students for LGBTQ+ MBA students, we welcome LGBTQ+ graduate students in other programs to attend. Students in other programs should fill out this form to request an individual registration code.
