Globe Business College Munich and Aidconnect are pleased to announce the winners of their 2008/2009 Business Ethics Scholarship. Marta Sanchez, a second year Globe Business College student from Spain, was awarded the scholarship for her work on control mechanisms for development aid projects. Eimer Peters, a second year GBCM student from Ireland, received a partial scholarship for her essay which focused on Western companies extracting resources from the third world. "Throughout the process I learned a lot, not just in terms of the third world and aid projects but also in relation to how to apply theories and concepts learned in college to the real world. I am delighted to have won the scholarship, but to be honest, the real benefit for me was in conducting the research and writing the essay" said Ms Sanchez on receiving the award.

Donna Barron, Director of Student Affairs at GBCM, says that the scholarship is primarily meant to encourage students to confront ethical issues in the context of doing business. “The most sustainable impact of this scholarship programme is to raise the students’ awareness of ethical issues in the business arena.
