The “best” summer opportunity awaits you on the campus of Appalachian State University. The Martha Guy Summer Institute for Future Business Leaders (MGSI) has
a solid, 12-year history of inspiring students through exploration of
the business world, and we are now accepting applications for our 2016
Cohort.
Unique aspects of MGSI:
· Unlike most summer opportunities, MGSI
combines a residential experience with out of state travel. Following
two weeks on campus at Appalachian State University, the program
concludes with a week of travel to various business and
cultural/entertainment sites. This year we will be traveling to Hershey,
PA and New York City.
· Each MGSI class is small. Twenty-four students are selected. The group size provides a much more intimate, personal experience for each participant.
· It
is quite affordable considering the extensive travel, excursions and
activities; tuition is $1,500 plus a meal plan fee of $325. **Need-based scholarships are available to qualified applicants.
Which students are well suited for MGSI?
· We are seeking students who have a sincere interest in business as a college major and
demonstrate leadership potential. Some candidates have an
entrepreneurial spirit, or have unique or extensive part-time work
experience. Also consider your most competitive students among
under-represented groups and populations. Interested students should
demonstrate academic achievement.
· Students
who embrace and appreciate new people, opportunities and experiences
are ideal for MGSI. They should also be well-prepared to be away from
home and able to manage a demanding schedule.
· Application deadline is February 26th 2016
Thank you for your interest in this program! We look forward to hearing from you.
