Jones Fund

The Jones Fund is the annual fund at the Jones Graduate School of Business at Rice University. As the chart shows, it provides unrestricted revenue that supports scholarship, program enhancement and other operating expenses at the Jones School.
 
In FY08, over half of the contributions raised though the Jones Fund directly supported recruitment efforts and scholarships for full-time students. This allows us to attract top MBA candidates from all over the world thereby improving some of the criteria by which we are rated. The Jones Fund also supported programs and resources for students in all three programs. This includes resources such as the Career Management Center and executive coaching for EMBAs, the results of which have been very rewarding.
