The organization and its chapters provide more than $500,000 dollars annually across North America in scholarships to undergraduates, graduates and doctoral students pursuing careers in business. The program's mission is to identify and increase the pool of Black talent for business, public, private and non-profit sectors.
The NBMBAA/Xerox Canada Diversity & Innovation Scholarship Committee is currently accepting applications for the 2011/12 school year. The selection criteria include high academic achievement, recognized contribution to the community and demonstrated leadership skills.
“At Xerox we believe that investing in individuals and encouraging diversity and innovation are critical activities that corporations must pursue if they want to build Canada and future leaders. We welcome opportunities to partner with organizations like the NBMBAA to further that mandate.” said Kevin Warren, President & CEO of Xerox Canada.
The scholarship program was officially launched in 2009 and the inaugural scholarships were awarded to Christina Sackeyfio, a Schulich School of Business, York University MBA student and Kristen Willmot, a second year student at the Richard Ivey School of Business, Western Ontario University. They both enjoyed their Summer internships at Xerox.
The National Black MBA Association (Toronto Chapter) will continue to seek future partnerships that support both academic and needs based scholarships and awards.
