Wharton’s driving goal has always been to provide the best business education and research. This focal priority is largely dependent on the School’s ability to recruit and retain top faculty. The Wharton Fund helps to provide the resources necessary to achieve this ambitious task.

• Wharton’s 250+ professors conduct and distribute research that impacts the business world.
• Faculty develop comprehensive and rigorous curricula, offering instruction in 20+ undergraduate concentrations, 18 MBA majors and nine doctoral programs.
• 25 research centers and initiatives explore topics ranging from Environmental Management to Sports and Business, driving interdisciplinary cooperation and learning.
• Knowledge@Wharton, the School’s online business journal, connects the research of Wharton faculty with a global audience of more than 1.5 million subscribers.
• The Alfred West, Jr. Learning Lab develops technology-enhanced learning experiences including simulations, web-based exercises and interactive programs that investigate new paradigms for learning and instruction.

The Wharton School seeks to nurture a community of leaders among its remarkably diverse and vibrant student body, which reflects the increasingly global perspective of business. Wharton students learn in new and innovative ways while challenging themselves and each other. The Wharton Fund helps students to achieve their potential by supporting academic exploration and personal growth.

• Scholarship and fellowship support enables Wharton to attract the most talented young people to its undergraduate, MBA and doctoral programs, regardless of their financial resources.
• The Global Immersion Program offers MBA students five weeks of focused study on a particular region followed by a four-week study tour, meeting with senior executives and government officials to develop a better understanding of the region's cultural, social and business environment.
• The Wharton Business Plan Competition challenges students across the University to learn by participating in a rigorous contest that puts their entrepreneurial skills to the test while teaching them about indispensible business concepts, team work and leadership.

Wharton recognizes the indivisible relationship between business and technology. Students, alumni, faculty and staff enjoy access to comprehensive technology tools. This crucial aspect of the Wharton experience would not be possible without the support of The Wharton Fund.

• Wharton Research Data Services (WRDS) is a web-based business data research service available to faculty and students, providing instant access to financial, economic and marketing data though a uniform, web-based interface.
• According to a recent study, Wharton is leading the way in social media content and connectivity among its peer schools, with an active presence on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr and LinkedIn.
• An eReader format is available for students’ course packets.
• The entire Wharton campus is WiFi-enabled, and Wharton Computing offers student access to 500+ public computers.

Wharton’s campus provides support for the School’s dynamic community of learners and educators. Providing for the ever-changing demands of the largest population of teachers and students among peer schools would not be possible without the support of The Wharton Fund.
