Donor awards are scholarships that are awarded by MBA Financial Aid to eligible full-time MBA students and to eligible Langone Program students who have completed at least 30 credits towards their MBA degree. 

All donor awards at the Stern School of Business are merit-based and awarded in the fall semester based on the criteria established by the donors.  No separate application is necessary (in almost all cases), as we consider all eligible students for this type of award.

SCHOLARSHIPS FOR INCOMING STUDENTS

HARVEY BEKER SCHOLARSHIP

The Harvey Beker Scholarship program was established in 2005 by Harvey Beker, MBA 1975. For Fall 2009, three $10,000 Beker scholarships will be awarded to first-year, full-time MBA students. 

The Harvey Beker Scholarship program intends to foster an interest in philanthropy and create a group of like-minded Stern alumni who understand the importance of giving back to the School. Within five years of graduation, the Beker Scholars ideally will begin to share their success and start giving back to Stern. Thus, they will enable future students to excel and succeed.

All incoming first-year admitted students are invited to apply for the scholarship.  The application consists of an essay and one page resume.  The essay should be no longer than two pages, double-spaced, and should answer the following questions: 

• Why would you like to be considered for the scholarship?
• How have you helped others succeed through your contributions?
• How do you intend to contribute to Stern as an alumnus/a?
• How will you enable future students to excel at Stern?

Applications are due by Tuesday, September 8, 2009 and should be sent to the MBA Financial Aid office at fin-aid@stern.nyu.edu.  Recipients will be notified during the fall semester.
