MBA Tour Attendees Eligible for New Scholarship
The MBA Tour, an international organization uniting business school admissions representatives with prospective MBA applicants, has created a new scholarship program. The program is designed for prospective MBA students who are accepted by an MBA program they meet at an MBA Tour event and demonstrate an interest in applying the business management skills they obtain toward any of a number of socially responsible objectives.
To fund the new program, the MBA Tour has established the Peter and Alice von Loesecke Scholarship Foundation, which will award one or two scholarships each year in the amount of $20,000 to the candidate or candidates who best exemplify the award criteria, which include the following:
• A desire to return to a home country to grow a family business and create employment
• A desire to create a socially responsible entrepreneurial venture (e.g. micro lending, basic health care delivery in poverty stricken rural areas)
• A desire to work for an international lending organization providing loans for projects in developing countries
• A former volunteer or employee of a public service organization (e.g. veteran of the armed forces, peace corps volunteer, or an NGO)
Scholarship recipients must continue to pursue the objectives for which the scholarship was awarded during their MBA studies.
To be eligible for this new scholarship, interested applicants must have attended an MBA Tour event after July 2009, be accepted by a school they met at the event and be nominated by that school for the scholarship. Nominations must be received by April 16th, and nominee applications are due by May 14th. MBA Tour will announce scholarship finalists and semi-finalists on June 11th.
