MBA Scholarship created for nonprofits

A special Executive Masters of Business Administration scholarship for someone currently working for a Wisconsin non-profit organization has been created at the School of Business by Dean Andrew J. Policano.

The scholarship will pay 75 percent of the student’s tuition for both years of the Executive MBA program beginning in fall 2000. Program fees are $20,000 per year.

“By establishing this scholarship, we hope to provide opportunities for individuals who will lead the nonprofit sector,” Policano says. “Non-profit organizations are critical to our community. Managing them requires a high level of management and business skill.”

UW–Madison’s Executive MBA program is a rigorous two-year advanced business program designed for mid- and upper-level managers. It meets on Fridays and Saturdays every other weekend for two school years. Approximately 30 students are admitted each fall.

Applicants for the scholarship must meet the program’s criteria and be employed full time with a not-for-profit Wisconsin organization.

The deadline for applications to the next Executive MBA class is June 1, with early applications recommended. All applications will be reviewed by the EMBA Admissions Committee.
