BBA Alumni Endowed Excellence Fund
Information Sheet & Submission Form – AWARDS FOR FALL 2013 and Spring 2014
Description:
The BBA Alumni Endowed Excellence Fund will help provide financial support for studentled initiatives that will enhance the educational experience of the BBA programs. This fund
was created to support new or existing student initiatives that have a broad and potentially
lasting positive impact for BBA students. This fund is unique in that a committee of students,
alumni, and BBA program staff will work together to determine optimal usage of the funds.
Examples of applicable student-led initiatives include: case competitions, stock pitches,
educational conferences and programs that are primarily academic or professional in nature.
Programs not considered include those which are social or philanthropic in nature.
The fund’s award committee expects to grant funding of $500-2,500 per program, depending
on the needs of the program and the number of programs funded in a given semester.
