In partnership with leading nonprofits and institutions of higher learning, the Morgan Stanley Institute for Inclusion is committing its financial and intellectual resources to addressing systemic inequities in education and career outcomes for young adults from low-to-moderate income backgrounds, with a focus on ethnically diverse students.
“We are investing in solutions that drive greater access to education and social mobility more broadly and have meaningful impact on communities. We believe this investment will help address racial inequities and drive stronger financial outcomes in the long run for these students and their families.” —Susan Reid, Global Head of Diversity and Inclusion, Morgan Stanley
