Young Talent on the Path to Global Leaders: IE Foundation Fellows
Our IE Foundation Fellows are poised to lead with purpose, driving positive impact in all areas of their journey, both personally and professionally.
After 4 years since its creation, we are proud to witness the steady growth of the IE Foundation Fellows community, now over 1,800 strong, encompassing both current students and alumni who share a commitment to creating impact within and beyond IE. Becoming an IE Foundation Fellow continues to be a distinction of honor, with a selection process that rigorously evaluates academic excellence and personal achievements.
This fall, we welcomed 404 new Fellows, including the first six recipients of the ‘Laidlaw Women’s Leadership Scholarship’ and the first two of the ‘IE – Fundación Princesa de Girona Scholarship Program’. Beyond financial support, Fellows gain access to unique networking opportunities and, in return, become dedicated ambassadors of IE Foundation’s mission.
This exceptional group is further characterized by their strong sense of purpose to become leaders of impact in their professional fields. They have shown this commitment through their active involvement within the IE community, particularly as leaders across various student clubs and, most recently, through their latest initiative: the IE Foundation Fellows Student Board.
Led by eight dedicated Fellows, this Board offers mutual support and strengthens the community’s unity and purpose. Their work embodies IE Foundation’s philosophy of “Talent Taking Care of Talent,” where students support and uplift one another academically and personally, creating a culture of giving and growth.
The Board’s inaugural session, which marked the start of the academic year, featured an inspiring keynote from Concepción Galdón, Dean of Business with Purpose at IE University. Her address – centered on leading with purpose and driving social impact through responsibility – resonated deeply with the Fellows and set the tone for their upcoming initiatives.
Through the Fellows Program and its range of scholarships, IE Foundation continues to empower outstanding young talent to become the global leaders of tomorrow.
With a shared focus on addressing global challenges and advancing social impact, these Fellows are poised to make meaningful contributions to society at large.
