> Greetings, I wanted to let you know about a great opportunity here at
> Wake Forest where you can get a FREE education and get PAID while
> you're doing it. Our Dean of the Schools of Business is the former CEO
> of PepsiCo and very committed to diversity. He's gone around to his
> CEO friends, who have agreed to donate a bunch of money to pay tuition
> and fees, provide a stipend, and a job, to diverse students. The
> details are below. The problem is, response to the program has been
> dismal! As a faculty member, I would be embarrassed for him to have to
> tell his CEO friends, "thanks so much for your donation, but
> unfortunately I have to give it back because we couldn't find Any
> students who wanted it." So, I need your help. Please contact me if
> you, or ANYONE you know is interested in the program. I want to help
> out as many young scholars as I can. Don't worry about whether or not
> you (or they) have taken the GMAT, etc. All you need to do at this
> point is JUST APPLY.
>
> About the Program: The Master of Art in Management program is designed
> specifically for liberal arts majors only. The MA degree program is a
> 10 month intense study of the basic functional areas of Business.
> After graduation and working for approximately two years, all MA
> graduates are eligible to apply to Wake Forest as part of the MA/MBA
> joint degree program and get the MBA in one year. The new Dean, Steve
> Reinemund, has created a new scholarship for diverse students pursuing
> the MA degree called the Corporate Fellowship.
>
> The Corporate Fellowship provides full tuition and a $21,000 stipend
> to cover living expenses. Additionally, each Corporate Fellow will
> participate in a practicum. The practicum has two components,
> educational and professional development. Each student will be
> assigned a mentor that is a high level executive with their sponsor
> corporation. The mentor will oversee an educational project covering 4
> of the functional areas of business using their own corporation as the
> subject.
> The student will visit the corporation 3 - 4 times during the
> program to present his/her results of their research project.
> Additionally, the "professional development" component of the
> fellowship provides career coaching and leadership development for
> the students.
>
> The goal for the corporation is to be able to groom and hopefully,
> hire a top candidate from a diverse background for their organization.
> Of course, there is no obligation that the students accept any offer
> of employment. Still, the student benefits, even if they are not
> ultimately hired by their sponsor corporation in that they have the
> MA degree and the type of experience that will make them more
> marketable.
