Economics Scholarships

The Karla Scherer Foundation exclusively offers one type of scholarship. It is made available to female students majoring only in Finance or Economics with plans for a corporate busniess career in the private sector. Please note that it is not available beyond this very narrow focus. Academic majors such as accounting, information management systems, marketing, hotel management and the like do not qualify, nor do careers in the public service sectors such as health care, banking, financial services and consulting. Women majoring in Economics or Finance who are most likely to become tomorrow's CEO's or CFO's of manufacturing companies are specifically targeted. Letters are accepted from high school seniors through Ph.D. candidates. There are no age or geographic limitations. Both U.S. citizens and international students may apply. International students must already have a United States visa for study. A candidate must have determined the college she will be attending and she must have so informed that institution.

S P Jain School of Global Management provides tuition grants for its tri-city business degrees, both undergraduate and graduate. All students live in 3 cities: Singapore, Dubai and Sydney, Australia, and earn degrees in international business (marketing, finance, entrepreneurship, e-business, family business, etc.). Awards can be for full tuition, depending on qualification, but students must pay their own living expenses, transportation, and other fees. These "diversity" scholarships are designed to attract "international" students, meaning that applicants do NOT come from India, Pakistan or Sri Lanka, nor are they of Indian parentage. We are especially interested in attracting students from North and South America, the Caribbean, Europe, Africa, Russia and Central Asia, to strengthen the global nature of our student population. Candidates must: * Have a strong academic record (top 20% of high school or college class) * Have a keen interest in international business * Have excellent English skills (spoken, written, listening), as all classes are in English * Be independent and adventurous, as you will be living in 3 countries * Be of high ethical character * Use scholarship funds to pay for tuition at S P Jain School of Global Management * Hold a high school diploma (if applying for a bachelor's program), and a college/university diploma in any subject (if applying for a masters program) To learn more about various S P Jain's prestigious and unique programs, visit www.spjain.org.
