Our organization began its journey in 2003 as MBADiversity, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established with a clear mission: to create an effective cross-cultural pipeline of leaders and positive change agents in education, business, and the global community. From the beginning, our focus has been on breaking barriers, fostering diversity, and ensuring that talented students from all backgrounds have access to the opportunities and support they need to succeed.
As the needs of students and the professional landscape evolved, so did we. To reflect our broader mission of serving learners from every academic discipline and skill level, we rebranded as GradPrep.
Now, more than twenty years later, GradPrep continues to grow and adapt, guided by the same core values that inspired our founding. We remain committed to equipping the next generation with the tools, knowledge, and opportunities they need to thrive—empowering them not only to achieve their own dreams but also to become catalysts for positive change in their communities and across the globe.
