Scholarship recipients in the International MBA<\/a> (IMBA) program at Florida International University (FIU), gain a two-fold benefit: the awards recognize their potential while easing the way for them financially as they complete the Chapman Graduate School\u2019s 12-month full-time master\u2019s program.<\/p>\n

For the 2009-2010 academic year, 17 IMBA students received financial support. Fifteen of them celebrated over lunch with each other, College of Business Administration administrators, including Executive Dean Joyce J. Elam<\/strong>, who welcomed the group; faculty; program staff; family; and friends.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the awards were merit-based,\u201d said Dana Farrow<\/strong>, faculty director of the IMBA program, noting that approximately 20 percent of the IMBA class received scholarships. \u201cThe number of students to have such impressive admissions credentials is an indication of the high-quality individuals our IMBA program attracts.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to publicly acknowledging the recipients, the luncheon provided a chance to thank the donors, one of which, Mercantil Commercebank, was represented by Magdelana Mata, senior vice president human resources manager. Mercantil Commercebank and Espirito Santo Bank made generous donations to the college\u2019s Growth and Excellence Fund. The college matches donations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very grateful to our donors and to the community for their support of our graduate programs,\u201d Farrow said. \u201cWe look forward to being able to continue to attract exceptional graduate students by offering them scholarships that honor their achievements and promise.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Annabelle Rojas<\/strong> (MBA \u201998, BBA \u201987), assistant dean, Department of Advancement, Alumni and Corporate Relations, the support from Mercantil Commercebank and Espirito Santo Bank \u201cenables us to provide opportunities to students who have demonstrated their ability to accomplish great things.\u201d<\/p>\n
