Sample Sponsorship Requests
There is no silver bullet or standard operating procedure that can ensure financial sponsorship, but a well-crafted proposal certainly helps to make your case.
For you reference, here are two sample sponsorship requests written by Wharton executive MBA students.

In framing your case for sponsorship, it is important to be confident, present relevant data to back-up your argument, and be prepared to negotiate.
If your company has never sponsored anyone in Wharton’s or any Executive MBA program, don’t hesitate to refer the decision maker to our office so that we can help your management understand what is involved in sponsoring an employee and how they'll benefit. You have to make the case for you as an employee they should be developing, but we will gladly help make the case for our program!
