The HBS4A Scholarship Program
The mission of the HBS4A Scholarship program is to enhance and expand the leadership capacity of the Asian American non-profit community. Each year, the HBS4A sponsors one Executive Director of a non-profit organization which directly benefits the Asian American community to attend the Strategic Perspectives in Non-Profit Management program at Harvard Business School.
Recipients are selected based on their leadership potential, their organization's impact on the Asian American community, their organization's potential to benefit from the SPNM program, and the applicant's track record of commitment to working on behalf of the Asian American community.
