Manhattan GMAT offers social venture scholarship!

Last year FLiP happily promoted, at no charge, a program run by a national test prep company.

Manhattan GMAT offered a special deal to grant full tuition scholarships to 25 individuals in the New York metro area. They are doing it again this year! That’s free admission into an intensive 9-session GMAT prep course (a value of $1440).

This deal is open to you if you:
(1) Currently work full-time in an organization that promotes positive social change.
(2) Plan to use your MBA to work in a public, not-for-profit, or other venture with a social-change oriented mission.
(3) Demonstrate clear financial need.

Last year, at least five or six FLiPs took this course, and everyone reported back to me that it was truly an excellent experience.

Let me just repeat this so you can’t say I didn’t warn you. If you live in New York, are thinking about getting an MBA in order to work for a “socially good” organization, and plan to take a GMAT prep class, you can take that class for free.

The Social Venture Scholars will all enroll in a special preparation course taught by ManhattanGMAT’s founder, Zeke Vanderhoek, at the company’s New York City classroom center, beginning in January 2008.

All of the specific details, including application instructions, can be found at the following website: www.manhattangmat.com/svs.cfm. Please note that the application deadline is January 17, 2008.
