A nonprofit organization is offering financial assistance to students pursuing MBA degree in the area of sustainable development.
The Sustainable MBA Fund is a nonprofit organization that, according to its website, is "designed to benefit individual students who are positioned to have a considerable positive impact on the further integration of socially responsible business practices," particularly in dealing with people and the environment.
Students can receive anywhere between $100 and $100,000 in aid, depending on need and the actual availability of funding.
Demand is widely expected to skyrocket across many different fields for professionals who are trained in environmentally-friendly and sustainable subject areas.
For example, greenbiz.com recently noted that there are now 13 mba programs in the United States on sustainable enterprise, with another 16 universities in the U.S. and Canada with MBA programs that feature environmentally and socially responsible business methods.
In July, the Christian Science Monitor cited a report by Challenger, Gray and Christmas predicting that green job creation could enjoy an "explosive growth" rate of up to 1.3 million a year in fields from manufacturing, construction and energy production to many others.
