Honor societies

The Golden Key International Honour Society is an honor society that offers scholarships to its members. These are based on merit, so applicants must be at the top of their class in business studies. Most winners receive between $1,000 and $2,000 towards their studies. The National Society of Hispanic MBAs is another honor society that offers scholarships to business students. Applicants must be of Hispanic descent and pursing an MBA either part time or full time.

The Accentuate American Indian Scholarship is granted to those of Native American descent and is awarded based on tribal involvement, academic performance and involvement in the community.
