Named in honor of former Rice University Board of Trustees Chair James Crownover ’65, the scholarship supports selected students financially and provides an avenue for Jim himself to work directly with Crownover Scholars and finalists by sharing his experience on leadership success and community contribution, plus introducing students to relevant business leaders in their chosen fields. Historically, this scholarship is for students interested in a career in management consulting. For questions about the program, please contact Rice Business Admissions, ricemba@rice.edu.

This program was established to recognize individuals with demonstrated academic excellence and inspired leadership, as exemplified by Janice and Robert McNair. One recipient will be selected each academic year and receive full-tuition benefits during the two-year program as a Rice Business student. For questions about the program, please contact Rice Business Admissions, ricemba@rice.edu.
