Stanford will pay for your MBA

If you agree to work in the Midwest. LINK

A new fellowship at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, one of the top ranked business schools, covers tuition and fees for MBA students. But the program comes with a catch: Students must be willing to take a job in the Midwest.
Students often select the California-based Stanford because they know they'll get a great education and make contacts in Silicon Valley, where many of them presumably want to work after graduation. But the school has plans to funnel students to more "underserved regions," where the economy could benefit from an infusion of talent.
"When we look at our country, and we think about different places where there's still a lot of room for growth and development, the Midwest was a big part of that," Simone Hill, an assistant director for MBA admissions at Stanford, told Bloomberg.
In its inaugural year, the Stanford USA MBA Fellowship will pay three students about $160,000 over two years to attend the university. Within two years of graduating, recipients are required to find work in the Midwest, where they will "contribute to the region's economic development" for at least two years, according to the program website.

Define midwest
The Midwest — which the fellowship defines as Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin — might not seem like the hotbed of innovation that Silicon Valley is.

You only need like a 740 GMAT for Stanford. Good luck.

It's got to be places like Detroit or Cleveland. I can't imagine them doing this so someone can work in Chicago.

Think it mentions they only plan to give a few of these each year.
Soooooooo
Soooooooo

Who doesn't take this deal?
Paid for Stanford MBA, only two years and now you have your do-gooder street cred to open up plum government doors, in addition to plum East and Left Coast ones.

That was my thought - two of the best MBA programs in the world are already in Chicago. It's arguably a better set of two than exist in the Bay Area.
It's a weird thought and seems kind of pretentious.

I'm probably too rich to "demonstrate financial need," but too poor (and dumb) to attend Stanford grad school. Fml.

Sounds like a good deal
