Top Universities Join the National Society of Hispanic MBAs’ University Partnership Program

The National Society of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA) is pleased to announce the addition of four new universities to its University Partnership Program. Boston College — Carroll School of Management, Cleveland State University — Nance College of Business Administration, University of Miami — School of Business Administration and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign — College of Business have been added to the list of top universities that comprise the 27-member partnership.
NSHMBA created the University Partnership Program in 2006 to provide select academic institutions an expanded pool of qualified Hispanic applicants for graduate business programs. The program also creates a joint partnership opportunity in order to strengthen the pipeline of Hispanic students completing bachelors and masters degrees. The partnership program offers financial assistance in the form of scholarships, fellowships and assistantships. The concept for the program began several years ago when individual NSHMBA chapters around the nation collaborated with local universities to offer financial assistance to deserving candidates. NSHMBA encourages more universities to join its partnership program and help build the number of opportunities available for top Hispanic students seeking MBAs and to develop a close relationship with the NSHMBA local chapters. In 2007, NSHMBA awarded over $1 million in financial assistance to outstanding Hispanics pursuing a Master of Business Administration (MBA) or equivalent.
“For the past 18 years, the National Society of Hispanic MBAs has been instrumental in helping Hispanics continue their education and actively pursue Masters of Business Administration degrees. As universities join the NSHMBA University Partnership Program, they benefit from recruiting top notch Hispanic MBA students for their business school,” said Lourdes M. Hassler, CEO, NSHMBA. “The universities that are part of the University Partnership Program will have a profound effect on the future landscape of business schools and corporations as we see more diverse MBA students graduate and move on to promising careers.”
