Get Involved in ELI
Become a sponsor

Businesses can take advantage of this unique model and gain high-level attention and results from top graduate students on planned projects. In exchange for their work, participating companies provide assistance to the ELI student in terms of a set financial contribution based on the level of support the sponsored project requires. Sponsoring organizations help define the parameters of a project and estimate the number of hours needed to complete it.

For more information about the program or to sponsor a project, contact  Associate Dean of the School of Business Administration Balaji Rajagopalan at (248) 370-3287 for more information.

Apply to the program

Graduate students interested in participating in the program can apply by completing the Graduate Assistantship/ELI Application form.  Return the completed form by June 1st to be considered for the following fall and winter semesters.  If you have any additional questions, please contact Paul Trumbull by email at trumbull@oakland.edu or by calling the SBA Graduate Program office at (248) 370-3287.
