Dallas, TX (February 11, 2009) – The National Society of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA) Scholarship Program is how talented and bright Hispanics can afford an MBA. The 2009 application period opened February 01 and will end April 30. The awards given include scholarships of $5,000-$10,000 for full-time graduate students and $2,500 for those pursuing their degree through part-time study.

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of academic achievement, work experience, financial need, personal statements of goals and aspirations, community service, letters of recommendation, and NSHMBA ambassadorship.
