The Grace College School of Business will offer a $5,000 employer scholarship match for students pursuing its new Orthopedic MBA program. The scholarship match is available exclusively for individuals currently employed by an orthopedic company. If an employer offers an education financial assistance program, Grace will match the employer’s contribution dollar for dollar, up to $5,000.
“This is a huge opportunity for those who are currently working right here in the Orthopedic Capital of the World® with a desire to pursue more specialized education offered at an incredible value,” said Dr. Thomas Pycraft, director of MBA programs at Grace. “Those who take advantage of this employer matching opportunity could cover up to almost half of the program’s total cost.”
The new Orthopedic MBA program was launched in May 2025. The 39-credit-hour program includes nine general MBA courses online. The orthopedic-specific courses, “Orthopedic Foundations,” “Orthopedic Anatomy & Physiology,” “Global Medical Device Regulation” and the “Orthopedic Scholar Institutes” will meet in person on Fridays at the Grace College campus. The institute courses will focus on professional development, including panel discussions with industry experts, plant and facility tours, as well as soft-skill development for orthopedic culture.
The Orthopedic MBA program is currently accepting applicants for its May 2026 cohort. To learn more about the Orthopedic MBA program and the requirements to apply, go to online.grace.edu/programs/orthopedic-mba/.
