Speaking on occasion, Dr. Prashant Mishra, Dean, NMIMS School of Business Management, said, “We at School of Business Management are pleased to acknowledge, MAF merit-cum-needs based scholarship support for MBA program participants. This generous scholarship from MAF will aid our effort in building an inclusive and diverse student cohort in our program. It will also strengthen our collective resolve in ensuring that no needy student (especially from socially and economically backward groups) is denied the educational opportunity due to lack of financial support”.

Mr. Ritesh Patel, Director, Mirae Asset Foundation, said, “We want to develop and support educational institutions of excellence and we are happy to partner with NMIMS which has been the frontrunner in management education in India. We have been already supporting their Social Entrepreneurship MBA program by providing scholarships to needy students. To further establish strong ties with NMIMS and in line with our objective to support the youth pursuing higher education, we have decided to support the students pursuing MBA programs through these meritorious and need-based scholarships."
