TO: High School Counselors, Business Teachers and FBLA Sponsors
FROM: Jacki Langworthy, Executive Director
RE: MISSOURI BUSINESS WEEK
DATE:
Once again, we are encouraging you to offer a special opportunity to your students by promoting the 23rd annual MISSOURI BUSINESS WEEK, to be held June 29 - July 3, 2008 at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
MBW is a program for students exploring management and marketing or for those who want to strengthen their leadership skills as part of a working team. Freshmen, sophomores and juniors should apply, and there is no limitation to the number that can apply from each school. However, MBW does strive for statewide geographic representation, and approximately 200 will be admitted.
A $500 college scholarship will be awarded to one student at the close of MBW. This is an optional opportunity, and to be considered, students will be asked to submit a college scholarship application form and other requirements after they are admitted to MBW.
All admitted students will be awarded a $500 sponsorship provided by Missouri REALTORS® and other business professionals. This will cover room, board and program activities. To be considered for MBW, it is recommended that students have at least a 3.0 GPA; students with a 2.5 and above will be considered, provided school and/or outside activities are strong. Good school citizenship is a must, and we look for students who work well in groups. Please be sure that students include their accumulative average on the application. Applications must be postmarked no later than April 18 and signed by the student, a parent or guardian and a teacher or counselor. Students will be admitted in early May.
An MBW video (also available as a CD) can be borrowed to show to classes and organizations. To do so, please call 800-403-0101, ext. 126, or email JackiLangworthy@morealtor.com. You and your students can also check out our web site at www.missouribusinessweek.com. Thank you for your interest in MBW!
