Community Engagement

Jindal School of Management business students, professionals and alumni meeting about community engagement

Innovation in Community Engagement

At the Jindal School of Management, our approach to community engagement starts with teaching the transformational connection between business and community. We show students this connection by our positive ties to the Dallas-Fort Worth community through joint programs, innovative partnerships and college preparation support. Jindal School alumni understand how business shapes the communities where they live and the world. Because of that, the future is brighter here.

Jindal Young Scholars Program

The Jindal Young Scholars Program is a partnership between the Jindal School of Management and the Dallas Independent School District.

The mission of the program support Dallas ISD students and addresses racial and economic inequalities by increasing college and career readiness. As part of the program, each year a select group of high school JYSP seniors are selected to receive a full scholarship to the Jindal School of Management.
