Tetr College of Business opens new doors by fully funding Harvard F-1 visa students
In response to the situation, Tetr College of Business has announced a landmark initiative to safeguard the future of international students. The leading B-school will offer full scholarships worth $200,000 and fast-track admissions for F-1 visa Harvard University students, impacted by the changes made in Harvard's Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) certification by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
This initiative will expedite eligible students for admission into Tetr's upcoming 2025 cohort, starting August 2025. These students can either join Tetr's Bachelor's program in Management and Technology or the new program in Science and Artificial Intelligence. The price of both programs is approximately $200,000.
As a part of Tetr's $10 million global scholarship fund, the scheme aims to support young entrepreneurs and students worldwide. Considering the vast number of international students within Harvard's community, Tetr has showcased its willingness to back affected students, providing a smooth and supportive continuation of their world-class education.
Pratham Mittal, the founder of Tetr College of Business, said, 'The thought of any bright, enterprising student having their academic trajectory abruptly halted due to circumstances beyond their control is simply unacceptable. For these exceptional minds at Harvard, we are not just offering free education but providing an impactful launchpad to global entrepreneurship and leadership for the betterment of the world. At Tetr, we will provide them tools, community, and global exposure to realize their immense potential and channel towards creating meaningful impact without the burden of visa anxieties.'
Tetr's undergraduate programs are immersive and entrepreneurial. Students study and build businesses across seven countries, including the U.S., India, Singapore, Italy, Ghana, Brazil, and the UAE, over four years. Each semester is in a different geography, blending academic learning with hands-on venture building. Students also have the opportunity to study at partner institutions like the National University of Singapore (NUS), IIT (India), and Cornell University (USA) while receiving mentorship from the esteemed faculty of Harvard, MIT, INSEAD, and Cornell and entrepreneurs from companies like NASA, SoftBank, and Estée Lauder.
Tetr's inaugural cohort has demonstrated remarkable success with the completion of two semesters in Dubai and India. In Dubai, students launched dropshipping ventures generating $138,000+ in revenue with average profit margins of 38% in under six months. In India, their Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) startups achieved over $184,000 in revenue at a 30.6% profit margin, with several ventures now entering early funding rounds.
Tetr's hands-on models have gained significant interest, with the 2025 cohort receiving over 150,000 applications for around 100 seats. The year-on-year increase is ~50%, making it one of the most selective undergraduate business programs globally. The average SAT score of the current cohort is 1475, and students have previously turned down offers from institutions such as Dartmouth, NYU Stern, UC Berkeley, and King's College London to join Tetr.
Application procedure for Harvard students

Cash held by US companies halved since 2021 amid high interest rates, data shows
Cash allocations by U.S. corporations have halved since 2021 as elevated interest rates prompt a shift to higher-yielding treasury bills, data from Clearwater Analytics showed on Tuesday. Median allocations to cash - which includes hard currency, money market funds and 90-day treasury bills - dropped to 20% at the end of July from 40% in 2021, according to a report encompassing around 800 of the investment management software maker's U.S. corporate clients with a combined $1.3 trillion in assets. This marks the lowest level in Clearwater's system in at least eight years. Excluding very short-term treasury bills, median allocations to U.S. treasuries surged from 3% to 20% over the same period. Chief financial officers are trying to secure higher yields before the U.S. Federal Reserve resumes interest rate cuts, a prospect bolstered by the July jobs report, while also balancing the need for liquidity. A lot of the companies are holding these bonds to maturity, Matthew Vegari, Clearwater's head of research, told Reuters. Short-dated T-bills are quickest to adjust to rate changes, pushing companies toward longer durations for higher yields. "Corporations are still adding duration because they know the duration risk is minimal, because the likelihood that the Fed hikes is much lower than the likelihood that the Fed cuts," Vegari said. Weighted by time to maturity, median portfolio durations rose to 0.61 years at the end of July, from 0.45 years at the start of 2021. The higher-for-longer interest rate environment is "a headwind for those who need to borrow, and it's a tailwind for those who have the cash on their balance sheets and just want to get passive income that is completely risk-free," Vegari added.

Fed's policy rate should stay on hold for now, Schmid says
The U.S. central bank should not take tariffs' muted effect on inflation so far as an opportunity to cut interest rates, but rather as a sign that monetary policy is "appropriately calibrated," Kansas City Federal Reserve President Jeffrey Schmid said on Tuesday, in remarks that contrast with the increasingly dovish tone of some of his colleagues. "With the economy still showing momentum, growing business optimism, and inflation still stuck above our objective, retaining a modestly restrictive monetary policy stance remains appropriate for the time being," Schmid said in remarks prepared for delivery to an economic development conference in Oklahoma. "While increased tariffs seem to be having a limited effect on inflation, I view this as a rationale for keeping policy on hold rather than an opportunity to ease the stance of policy." Schmid said his "patient approach" to changing the policy rate, currently in the 4.25%-4.50% range, shouldn't be seen as a "wait and see" approach because he does not think that it will be clear in the next few months whether tariffs are pushing up on prices temporarily or persistently. Rather, he said, he feels the current policy rate is not very far above the neutral rate, where activity is neither stimulated nor restrained, and the labor market is still looking solid despite a sharp drop in job growth in recent months. And while the cooling labor market is keeping a lid on the pass-through of tariffs into inflation, boosting demand aggressively could raise the risk of an outsized increase in price pressures, Schmid said. "In my view, and in discussion with my contacts, growth remains solid, inflation remains too high, and therefore policy should remain modestly restrictive," he said. "That said, as I stated earlier, inflation is determined by the balance of supply and demand, and if I see indications that demand growth is weakening significantly, I will adjust my views accordingly."

Trump cites 'major lawsuit' against Fed's Powell, again urges rate cut
U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday reiterated his call for the U.S. Federal Reserve to lower benchmark rates, and cited "a major lawsuit" against Fed Chair Jerome Powell over renovations of the central bank's buildings. "Jerome 'Too Late' Powell must NOW lower the rate," Trump wrote on his social media platform. "I am, though, considering allowing a major lawsuit against Powell to proceed because of the horrible, and grossly incompetent, job he has done in managing the construction of the Fed Buildings."
