Hi Beat The GMAT Community,

I'm very excited to announce that we are now accepting applications for the 2010 Beat The GMAT Scholarship Competition!

This year we have six scholarship packages worth over $8500, thanks to generous donations by: Grockit, Kaplan, Knewton, Manhattan GMAT, The Princeton Review, and Veritas Prep.

It's been an honor for us to keep this scholarship tradition running for five years in a row. To date we've distributed nearly $60,000 in prizes to 28 people.

For more information on how to apply, please visit: https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/scholarship

The last day to apply is May 20, 2010. Please share this opportunity widely with your network!

Good luck!

Hope you decide to apply!

And thanks for the nice comment about the new blogs feature. You can thank money9111, hk, and David Park for designing that new feature. It's pretty cool, I agree!

Hi,

Firstly, I want to thank Eric and the entire BTG Community for giving us an opportunity to apply for such a wonderful scholarship :)!

I would like to know that if candidates have already scheduled their GMAT before applying to this scholarship, can they still use the GMAT Voucher in case they win?

Thanks namita09 for those very kind words!

If you have already scheduled your GMAT (and paid for it), I'm not sure you'll be able to apply the GMAT voucher. What I would do is call to see whether you can get a voucher 'credited' into your account if you win.

@[email protected]: Unfortunately, the application deadline has passed, so you can no longer apply for the BTG scholarships. However, I'd advise you to be on the lookout for more contests to come on our site. I think this one might interest you:
