The George Washington University School of Business (GWSB) MBA Admissions and the National Black MBA Association, Washington, D.C. Chapter, have partnered to offer a full or partial scholarship for a full-time MBA student to attend the GW School of Business. The scholarship will be awarded to a qualified student who is admitted to the full-time MBA program. “We are pleased to partner with NBMBAA’s D.C. Chapter and provide students with an opportunity to gain a world-class education in business and management,” said Judith Stockmon, executive director of admissions at the GW School of Business and member of NBMBAA, in a written statement. “We enrich the educational experience when we enhance student diversity.”
