2011 Annual BTG Scholarship
Over the past few years, aspiring business school students have been applying in large numbers to top MBA programs. Not only do they bring strong work experience from highly regarded companies, but they also come from top academic institutions and get top scores on the GMAT exam.  As a result, applicants today feel the pressure to submit a top application given the stiff competition, particularly with regard to the GMAT scores which have been trending upwards the past few years. Well one of the best MBA admissions resources I know, Beat The GMAT, has recently launched its annual GMAT scholarship program aimed to help people applying to school.
Given the attention that students give to the GMAT, I couldn’t help but take a second to pass along the information when my friend Eric from Beat The GMAT passed it along. He told me it was that time of year again. When people are gearing up for applications. When they are thinking about the GMAT. And they are about to get started applying to MBA programs.
The scholarship program came out last week. And it is looks to be a great opportunity for those who look forward to embarking on their MBA journeys. Â See below for details about the program and below that for a link to the Beat The GMAT website.
For reference, the deadline to submit an application is May 24, 2011.
Best of luck if you decide to apply.
