Overview

American Management Association (AMA) and the Frances Hesselbein Leadership Institute established the AMA Scholarship Program to assist the social sector nonprofit organizations in developing the strong leaders today who will lead the organizations of the future. The AMA Scholarship Program will strengthen the "leadership, competence, and management of the social sector nonprofit organization," which, according to Peter Drucker, will, "largely determine the values, the vision, the cohesion, and the performance of the 21st century society." AMA has granted 75 scholarships that will be administered by the Frances Hesselbein Leadership Institute.

The AMA Scholarship

• One management education and professional development seminar offered by American Management Association in the United States;
• One year individual member benefits including access to members-only website, subscriptions to e-newsletters and journals, and discount pricing on all other AMA products and services;
• One year membership with the Frances Hesselbein Leadership Institute including subscription to Leader to Leader Journal and discounts on the Institute's publications and services.

The AMA Scholarship is designed to provide nonprofit leaders with an opportunity to step out of the day-to-day, interact with peers across the sectors and develop practical skills they can apply immediately within their organizations. However, learning does not stop there. During the entire scholarship year, the recipients will be provided with intellectual resources, opportunities, and discounts designed to enhance leadership effectiveness and support excellence in organizational and personal performance.

The AMA Scholarship Program is available to a range of nonprofit organizations representing the social sector across the United States. We use these criteria to evaluate Scholarship applications. Please make sure the candidate meets these criteria before applying.

*The Scholarships will be reviewed on a rolling basis.*
