This scholarship opportunity doesn't officially launch until early March, but you might get a sneak peak at the details if you Google search 'GMAT Scholarship'... :)

Re: Question!

Hi,

Just a quick question on the 2008 scholarship. I'd like to include proof of my financial need but I read on the rules page that judges will not read any attachments.

Should I just explain my circumstances in the optional essay? I really don't want to be disqualified!

Thanks! :)

Thanks very much for carefully reading the rules. :)

You can submit proof of financial need as an attachment, that's fine. But please do not attach your essays as separate docs when submitting.

Good luck!

What exactly is required of a reference? It is not clear from the application process. I'd like to let them know what is expected in terms of time commitment, etc.
