Owen School / Master of Business Administration (MBA) Program
in leadership and community involvement and passion for student life. The awards are reserved for students who unselfishly focus on making the Owen Graduate School of Management a better place for everyone. Academic Scholarships (based on academic performance in the first year and awarded for the second year) Scholarships to study at Owen are awarded upon acceptance to the MBA program, and students should not expect to have an increase in their admissions scholarship nor be offered a new scholarship in the second year. There are four endowed meritbased academic scholarships that are awarded in the summer prior to year two, and recipients stand in the top 10 percent of their class GPA. No application is accepted; the Student Achievement Committee selects recipients based on academic standing at the end of year one. BRUCE D. HENDERSON SCHOLARSHIP is endowed by the Boston Consulting Group to honor BCG founder and former chairman and Vanderbilt graduate, Bruce D. Henderson and awarded to the MBA student, who, during the first year, achieved the strongest record in personal, professional, and academic performance. J. DEWEY DAANE SCHOLARSHIP honors emeritus faculty member J. Dewey Daane for significant contributions to the Owen Graduate School of Management. The scholarship goes to a rising second-year MBA student with demonstrated interest in finance and international management. MAX ADLER SCHOLARSHIP was established in 2007 through the Max Adler Student Investment Fund. This fund was created in 1982 through gifts from Mimi Adler, spouse of New York businessman Max Adler, to provide students in the Vanderbilt MBA Finance Club the opportunity to learn about investing in a very practical way. The success of their investments led to the creation of the scholarship in addition to the investment fund. The scholarship is awarded to a second-year student based on outstanding performance in the first year of the MBA program. RICHARD S. WEINBERG SCHOLARSHIP. Classmates, colleagues, family and friends of Richard S. Weinberg, Owen ’85, created an endowment to fund a scholarship in Richie’s memory. Richie was a member of the Owen Alumni Association Board of Directors and worked tirelessly on behalf of the Owen School in the New York financial community. He died suddenly in 1994. This scholarship is awarded to an outstanding rising second-year student concentrating/specializing in finance. PRAKASH ARORA SCHOLARSHIP. Awarded to a secondyear student for academic achievement.
