This program awards full-tuition scholarships. The William Simon School also works with the Minority Business Student Association (MBSA) to attract highly qualified Hispanic students. Once in the program, students have access to MBSA’s support services, providing leadership and professional expertise, and to the school’s Latin America Student Organization.
