• The area of business you expect to study and your reason for choosing this field;
• How your business education fits your life/career goals;

iii. A complete unofficial transcript from your current and any prior university or college, and your undergraduate transcript if you are entering a graduate program;

iv. A current photo. This photo will be attached to your application and used during interviews to connect names with faces. If you are selected to be a scholarship recipient, this photo will be posted on our website as part of an announcement. Please submit a photo that represents you in a professional way — we do not recommend using a casual or candid photo.

v. Two letters of recommendation. The letters are a part of your application submittal and must be included no later than March 19, 2023, 11:59 pm. Note that for recommenders uploading the letters themselves, you will need to submit your application before they can upload the letters. Therefore, you will need to complete your application in advance of the deadline so they have enough time to upload the letters by the deadline; be sure to coordinate.
