Loan Forgiveness Program
The John M. Bendheim Loan Forgiveness Fund for Public Service
The John M. Bendheim Loan Forgiveness Fund for Public Service was created in 2005 by John Bendheim, W'40, and his son Tom, WG'90, G'90 and member of the Lauder Institute Board of Governors. The fund is designed to encourage Wharton MBA graduates to pursue careers in the public and nonprofit sectors.
Eligible candidates must be pursuing careers in the public and nonprofit sectors, and the awards are based on a combination of activity, career goals, and financial need. For those selected for this program, Wharton will send up to $20,000 per year to the recipients’ lenders to pay down their loans. The application process is competitive, but there is no limit to the number of times alumni may be chosen as recipients during the first five years following graduation.
This Fund is managed by the Wharton Program for Social Impact. Please visit their website to learn more on the Loan Forgiveness Fund for Public Service application process.
