New Scholarship Links Students with Alumni

A new scholarship program goes beyond providing an economic award to GSB students by linking them with alumni who are successful in the students' field of interest.

Launched last fall, the Alumni Recognition Awards provide a merit-based scholarship worth $10,000 to each second-year student winner. Each of the six awards is named in honor of a specific alumnae or alumnus to recognize their achievements and provide mentoring opportunities for the student.

We wanted to make the alumni network more meaningful at an early stage, said dean Edward A. Snyder. The scholarship also gives the GSB an opportunity to spotlight the many alumni who have met with real success in the marketplace and reached an impressive level of achievement in their careers.

Students were chosen for outstanding academic achievement and community service during their first year at the GSB.P.H.
