BCCJ Heller Leadership Scholarship
Apply now for 2010

BCCJ and the Heller School at Brandeis University have committed to developing the leadership of BCCJ alumni by providing one full tuition scholarship to the Heller MBA in Nonprofit Management.  The BCCJ Heller Leadership Scholar will enroll for the sixteen month degree program in the Fall 2010 semester and commit to serving the BCCJ/Heller communities during the period of the scholarship.

The Heller School offers the only MBA in Nonprofit Management from a School of Social Policy with a focus on social justice.  As such, learning takes place within a context of effective business practices, the common good, and sustainability—the triple bottom line.  At Heller, like BCCJ, social responsibility is not just a class one takes but a commitment one makes.
