n MBA scholarship will be
awarded yearly by the GBCM Scholarship Committee in association with
AidConnect (more scholarships may be awarded in the event that the
submission essays are of a very high quality).
AidConnect is an initiative
focused on the worldwide linking of people who are involved in or would
like to support humanitarian projects (see
www.aidconnect.org).
This interactive communication platform offers charitable organizations
and individuals the opportunity to promote their projects to a diverse
audience. Likewise, it provides donors with information on both current
and potential projects with a view to matching those in need with
supporters who are in a position to assist.
The Masters programme at GBCM
(which is run in association with the Swiss Business School in Zurich)
is designed to meet the needs of professionals seeking to expand their
managerial knowledge and develop sound leadership skills. The MBA
prepares professionals for upper level management positions through the
facilitation of an understanding of the skills necessary to manage the
broad functions of business organizations.
The amount awarded will be
equivalent to one quarter’s tuition and winning essays will be published
on the GBCM and AidConnect websites.
