Scholarship Application Workshop Opportunity

The Management department will offer a scholarship application workshop on January 16, 2013 from 5:00-6:15 PM in McCoy 240. The deadline for submission of scholarship applications to the department is February 15th. This workshop will help students with the essay portion of the application and help them with strategies for letters of recommendation.

 

While it is not mandatory that students attend, those who do will very likely have a better chance at earning a scholarship. If you are interested in applying for a scholarship this workshop will be essential.

Not only did the students have the opportunity to attend informational breakout sessions and hear from inspirational speakers such as Chris Stevens, co-found of Keurig and Jeff Hoffman, founder of Priceline.com, but the 16 student entrepreneurs would compete with over 245 other universities for 11 different awards including the most prestigious awards: best chapter business, best chapter fundraiser, and best overall chapter.
