MBA Commits $100,000 to Diversity and Inclusion Scholarships

The Mortgage Bankers Association announced it would dedicate proceeds from its Third Annual Summit on Diversity and Inclusion, totaling $100,000, to its Path to Diversity & Inclusion Scholarships.  

The scholarships support diverse individuals who take MBA Education courses for professional development.  

“We are honored that we can dedicate this amount to a core mission of MBA’s diversity and inclusion efforts,” said J. David Motley, CMB, Chairman of MBA’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee and MBA Chairman-Elect. “Interest for this conference continues to increase, which was one of the main reasons we were able to support the Path to Diversity & Inclusion Scholarships.”  

So far this year donations toward the scholarship fund equaled $110,250. In 2016, 92 scholarships totaling more than $75,000 have been awarded.  

Scholarship recipients will receive a voucher to cover registration fees for any MBA Education Program offering, up to a maximum of $2,000.
