She went to high school in suburban Virginia and attended college at the University of Virginia, where she studied Economics and International Relations. Novogratz has an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. The title of Novogratz’s 2009 book 'The Blue Sweater: Bridging the Gap Between Rich and Poor in an Interconnected World' is based on an encounter she had in high school that led to her giving away a favorite sweater to Goodwill, only to find the same sweater years later on a boy in Rwanda.
