Some of you know that my husband Stephen has been wanting to go back to school for an MBA. He has spent the last year studying for and taking the GMAT and researching programmes, and he has spent the winter applying and pursuing a scholarship.
Many of you are also aware that the last two years have been difficult for Stephen and his family as my father-in-law's health has declined and there has been much to do in terms of his care and support, with Stephen taking the lead as his father's power of attorney.
Because of this, Stephen has been eyeing the International MBA at University of Denver, which ticks the box as having the international business focus Stephen is looking for as well as ticking the box of allowing Stephen to be closer to his dad (Harvey's care center is just over a mile from the DU campus) and closer to his immediate family who are all living in the Denver area.
The cost of DU's programme is a bit cost prohibitive, and Stephen has sought out and nurtured relationships with key faculty in the hopes of increasing his potential for funding support.
I am so very proud to share with you that my Stephen's hard work has paid off, and he has received confirmation from DU's school of business that they will be offering him a MERIT SCHOLARSHIP!
While the scholarship does not cover all his tuition, it would definitely lighten the load and is an excellent accomplishment for Stephen and an inspiration to others by showing even if you weren't at the top of your undergraduate class you can work hard, establish a successful career, and prove he is worthy to be considered a top MBA candidate.
Please join me in giving a big congratulations to my hubby. As you can probably tell, I'm so very proud of him!
