Become A Partner
Luther Hodges Scholars partners with businesses, nonprofits, government agencies, and community organizations to prepare undergraduate business students to become leaders who create economic prosperity and public value.
Whether through internships, mentoring, classroom engagement, or collaborative projects, our partners help transform learning into leadership.

Partnership is more than hosting a student.
