MasterCard and SMU announce recipients of the 2014 MasterCard MBA Scholarships for Women


27 Feb 2014

Singapore, 27 February 2014] – MasterCard today announced the recipients of the MasterCard MBA Scholarships for Women 2014. Three Singapore Management University (SMU) MBA students have been awarded full scholarships as part of a collaboration between MasterCard and SMU. The 2014 recipients – Tarini Kumar (India), Presthysa Nagitha Lestari (Indonesia) and Bhavya Sharma (India) – were selected for their excellent academic record and entrepreneurship potential as well as passion for community service.

The MasterCard MBA Scholarships for Women, which is in its fourth year, is awarded to full-time female MBA candidates from Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa. The program aims to empower awardees to better manage their academic and community commitments, further developing them into academically outstanding, business savvy and socially responsible women. The three scholarship recipients will also get to go through an internship with MasterCard, where they will learn more about the business and operations of the global payments company.

Dr Philip Zerrillo, SMU’s Dean, Postgraduate Professional Programmes, said, “We are very grateful to MasterCard for the continuous support that they have been giving to our female students in the SMU MBA programme. We are very proud of Tarini, Presthysa and Bhavya for their achievements; this scholarship not only affirms their commitment and contributions to the community, it also spurs them on to achieve excellence beyond their academic pursuits. Such encouragement from MasterCard promotes a greater awareness and understanding of the important role that women play in business and society, and enables the advancement of more women into senior leadership roles in businesses for greater diversity in the workplace.”

Tarini Kumar said, "The award of the MasterCard Scholarship has strengthened my conviction in my core belief of achieving excellence without sacrificing my social responsibilities. It also gives credence to my inherent creative self by providing me with the opportunity to explore and expand my professional and personal horizons through a comprehensive internship programme. The MasterCard Scholarship has given me the push and the strength to wholeheartedly pursue my dreams and for this I am truly grateful."

Presthysa Nagitha Lestari said, “This scholarship has a very personal impact on me. It makes me feel highly valued and appreciated, which will drive me to always bring out the best in myself. This opportunity has given a boost to my self-confidence and self-appreciation, and certainly spurs me on to achieve my goals.”

Bhavya Sharma said, “I feel honoured and grateful to have received the prestigious MasterCard MBA Scholarship for Women. Such grants empower aspiring women business leaders like me to achieve our academic and professional goals. I am motivated to continue with my humble contributions to the community at large and would also like to encourage women leaders to value both business success and social responsibility.”

Georgette Tan, group head, Communications, Asia/Pacific, Middle East & Africa, MasterCard, said, “The MasterCard MBA Scholarships for Women is part of MasterCard’s broader commitment to women’s advancement and we are delighted to see the keen competition that the scholarship receives every year. We believe that empowering these women to continue to pursue academic and professional brilliance while continuing to make a difference in their communities will develop them to be great role models for their peers, families and society.”

After working on the field for almost 3-4 years in civil engineering, many students want to change their streams to the management side.
But then again, there are very few streams in management which are actually related to Civil or Construction backgrounds.
But students are really not aware that they can change their technical career and incline it towards the management side with an MBA in streams like:-
Real Estate & Urban Infrastructure
Construction Economics & Quantity Surveyors
Construction Project Management.

There are institutions like RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) offer MBA in such streams, along with an international exposure.
For students planning to continue with studies even after post graduation, can opt for their PhD program as well.RICS, also has an MOU signed with the University of Salford, a leading university in UK and the world.As for the job related opportunities, they have an assured support from leading companies in India and abroad, so students will get placed as long as they meet the eligibility criteria.You can check for more information on their website: http://www.ricssbe.org
