Peter and Alice von Loesecke Scholarship Foundation

Details for School and Student Applications

2009 winners!

The MBA Tour has established a scholarship foundation called the “Peter and Alice von Loesecke Scholarship Foundation”.  The purpose of The Foundation is to award 1 or 2 (20,000 USD) scholarships each year to a candidate who best exemplifies the criteria for the award and continues to demonstrate during their MBA studies an interest in pursuing those objectives for which the scholarship was awarded.  Each year The Foundation will announce the criteria for which the scholarship is awarded.  The award criteria will be socially motivated to include:

• A desire to return to a home country to grow a family business and create employment
• A desire to create a socially responsible entrepreneurial venture (e.g. micro lending, basic health care delivery in poverty stricken rural areas)
• A desire to work for an international lending organization providing loans for projects in developing countries
• A former volunteer or employee of a public service organization (e.g. veteran of the armed forces, peace corps volunteer, or an NGO)

To Apply/ Eligibility:

• Applicants are eligible if they attended one of the MBA Tour events after July 2009 and have been accepted to a university they met at the event.
• Applicants must notify the university they will attend of their desire to be nominated for the scholarship by submitting their scholarship ticket through The MBA Tour website (Login to your MBA Tour profile and select "Request your Scholarship Ticket").
• Applicants can only submit their ticket to ONE university and a university can only nominate ONE candidate for the scholarship.
