Fuqua On Board 2011-2012 NONPROFIT Sign-up
Thank you for your interest in the Fuqua On Board program, managed by the Center for the Advancement of Social Entrepreneurship (CASE) at Duke's Fuqua School of Business.
Nonprofit organizations must complete this application to be considered for the program. We greatly appreciate your time and effort. Your thoughtful responses are critical to our ability to select students for the program and to match your organization effectively with the students who may be of greatest assistance to you. Nonprofits that participated in previous years may skip several questions if their answers from last year remain unchanged.
More information about FOB can be found on the internet at http://www.fuquaonboard.org. Information about CASE, including a calendar of upcoming speakers and events, can be found at http://www.caseatduke.org.
Please note that if you submit this application after August 15th, we may not be able to consider your organization for this year's program, depending on the number of applications received by that date.
We will contact you in mid to late August if we have any questions about your application. If you have any questions about the program, please contact CASE Executive Director Matt Nash at FOB@fuqua.duke.edu or (919) 660-7791.
NOTE -- If you do not have reliable internet access, or if you prefer not to submit your responses online, you may answer all questions in a separate Word document and send an electronic version to FOB@fuqua.duke.edu .
