Experiential learning for Duke students in global health innovation and social entrepreneurship:
Duke Engineering World Health
We are a non-profit organization mobilizing the biomedical engineering community to improve the quality of health care in hospitals serving resource-poor communities of the developing world. With this professional expertise -- we install donated and new medical equipment, carry out equipment repairs, and train to build local capacity to both manage and maintain sophisticated equipment.
We teach our international BMET training programs locally in developing countries. We thus create sustainable programs in developing countries which remain after our departure. Our efforts are always in close collaborative partnerships with Ministries of Health and local educational institutions. We also train local trainers in developing countries. Additionally we harness the resources of collegiate engineering programs through a network of university-based EWH chapters. We work with Duke University and Texas A&M University to plan, manage, and operate summer programs for students. These summer programs (known as Summer Institute or SI) send student biomedical engineers to developing country hospitals where they study language, culture, technology, and repair broken equipment. Get engaged with global health and social entrepreneurship through SEAD, our partners, and other organizations involved in social entrepreneurship and global health!

Fuqua Client Consulting Practicum (FCCP)
The goal of the Fuqua Client Consulting Practicum (FCCP) is to enhance students' business education by developing collaborative consulting engagements with businesses and nonprofit organizations in which our students assist their client organizations in addressing existing and emerging challenges. FCCP's success has been built on establishing a mutually beneficial relationship in which client organizations receive valuable business advice and students enhance their educational experience by applying the new skills they learn in their classes to a practical, real-world project. About 850 daytime MBA students attend Duke University's Fuqua School of Business; these students average 5+ years of work experience between receiving their undergraduate degrees and coming to Fuqua. The expertise from this pool of talent, combined with the resources of the Fuqua School, allows the FCCP to provide consultation in most functional areas. The list includes, but is not limited to, the following:
SEAD Student Innovation Fellowships
SEAD also provides funding for innovative, pre-developed independent study projects for highly motivated students on a case by case basis. Please contact us for more information. |
Fuqua Case i3 Fellowships
CASE i3 Fellows are a critical part of CASE i3’s research, education and operations. CASE i3 Fellows exemplify and advance the culture that underlies Fuqua’s dedication to creating leaders of consequence: leaders able to work collaboratively, to apply a global perspective, and to engage skillfully to positively impact colleagues, clients, and communities. CASE i3 Fellows are selected second year MBA students who complete coursework in impact investing, support CASE i3′s research and operations, and complete a CASE i3 consulting project. They have diverse backgrounds, ranging from former investment banker associates to nonprofit program managers, foundation staff, and management consultants. On average they have 5-7 years of work experience and all have a keen interest in the developing field of impact investing. The CASE i3 Fellowship provides both deep and broad educational opportunities for Fuqua students

Fuqua CASE Summer Internship Fund and Social Sector Scholarship
CASE Summer Internship Program: Thanks to the generous support of the Duke MBA Net Impact Club's fundraising efforts and support from Fuqua and other donors, CASE provides financial assistance to first-year students who pursue summer internships with nonprofits and public agencies. SIF is a matching fund with two benefits: 1) enabling students to learn about the rewards and challenges of social sector management without making a significant financial sacrifice; and 2) enabling organizations that otherwise could not afford to hire MBA student interns to benefit from their expertise. Read about previous SIF interns here.
Class of 1990 Scholarship: The Duke MBA Daytime Class of 1990 established an endowment to provide assistance to first-year students who choose a paid or unpaid summer internship with a nonprofit, public, or small to medium size company. The annual amount available for this scholarship depends on endowment earnings. Funding priority goes to student internships with (1) nonprofit organizations, (2) public agencies, and (3) small to medium size companies, in that order of preference. Funding: The maximum award to a single recipient (either through SIF, 1990, or a combination of both) is $4,000, or up to $400 per week for up to ten weeks. The amount awarded per student is dependent upon the availability of and demand for funding and will be dispersed to participating students as tuition credits. Eligibility – Students: Current Daytime MBA student pursuing an 8-10 week summer internship with an eligible organization. The internship must utilize MBA skills, be well-defined with adequate supervision, and have a significant impact on the organization. Eligibility – Organizations: Nonprofits (501(c)(3)), public sector agencies, and NGOs are eligible for both funds. For-profit small enterprises (even those with a social mission) are only eligible for Class of 1990 funding. Organizations may not have the promotion of a particular political party or candidate as its core mission and may not be primarily religious in nature, though may have a religious affiliation.
