Give to the Business Opportunity Program
Dr. Cornell A. Bell spent 37 years removing barriers for aspiring business leaders. Now it’s your turn to carry that legacy forward — make your gift today and help us take the next giant leap, together.
A Legacy That Started Here
For more than 50 years, the Dr. Cornell A. Bell Business Opportunity Program has helped students build the confidence, connections and skills they need to succeed at Purdue and beyond. Since 1968, BOP has supported nearly 2,000 undergraduate and graduate students, opening doors to academic achievement, leadership development and lifelong success.
That impact continues today because of a community of alumni, donors, corporate partners and friends who believe in investing in the next generation of business leaders.
Your Gift Makes a Difference
When you give to BOP, you’re investing in more than a program — you’re investing in people. Your support helps students who are first-generation and from a range of socioeconomic backgrounds access the mentorship, professional development and community they need to succeed at the Daniels School of Business and beyond. From fully funded summer experiences to our Executive Speaker Series and case competitions, every experience BOP offers exists because of donors like you.
