Hi,

I'm looking for the online scholarship application you mentioned above, however, when I look for it, I receive this error:

The page /eligibility-requirements-desc/2010_MBA_Fellowship_Scope.pdf could not be located on this website.

We recommend using the navigation bar to get back on track within our site. If you feel you have reached this page in error, please contact a site operator. Thank you!

Is it possible to send me the application link to my email or send me a paper copy? Please let me know what next steps I should take to get the information you need for consideration for the scholarship.

Thanks!
