Earlier this week, the Financial Times published an article summarizing the results of a recent study, conducted at MIT’s Sloan School of Management.  The study asked MBA students whether they care about working for a company with environmentally friendly policies.  The answer was:  not much.  Only a quarter of students replied that they examined a company’s environmental record.  The study was interesting in that it showed where MBA’s personal values intersect with professional aspirations.  To read the entire article and learn more about the concerns of current MBA’s, read here.   Stacy Blackman Consulting President, Stacy Blackman, was also quoted in the article.

London Business School has partnered with Goldman Sachs to establish a new scholarship for full-time MBA students. Created to highlight the company’s commitment to diversity, the Goldman Sachs International Scholarship will award the first £20,000 scholarship to a deserving MBA candidate starting the program in Autumn 2008. The scholarship selection process will take into consideration financial need along with academic merit.

A statement issued by LBS last week says “Goldman Sachs is delighted to be working with London Business School to launch a new scholarship award. This scholarship will be directed at international students who are considering studying for the MBA. We hope the Goldman Sachs Scholarship will strengthen our global reach and continue to demonstrate our commitment to diversity.”

More information about the Goldman Sachs International Scholarship can be found on the MBA scholarships pages of the London Business School website.
