To be considered for the scholarship program, students must indicate an interest in economics, business administration, management (marketing or finance), accounting, or international business on their OWU applications; have high school records that indicate potential for excellence at Ohio Wesleyan; and full face-to-face interviews with Economics and Business faculty.
Choosing the EMF program ensures that freshmen are assigned an Economics and Business academic advisor, receive sophomore or junior mentors as freshmen, and connect with professional mentors as seniors.
Fellows also receive a special academic stipend for the first three semesters and enroll in a first-year seminar open only to them. The seminar is team-led by the entire Faculty of Economics and Business, which helps students quickly build relationships with their new professors.
In the second year of the program, students take a faculty-escorted field trip to a major American city, such as New York, where they meet with prominent Ohio Wesleyan alumni and other professionals working in the city in business or government.
