For Working Adults, New Scholarship & Evening Bachelor Degree Completion Program Brings a Boston University Degree Within Reach

Boston, MA (PRWEB) July 29, 2008 -- Boston University's Metropolitan College (http://www.bu.edu/met/?src=hmgPR) has just been announced as a recipient of the coveted Osher Reentry Scholarship Fund. Provided by the Bernard Osher Foundation, the scholarship provides financial assistance for undergraduate students who wish to return to college to complete a bachelor's degree after a significant hiatus in their studies. The grant amounts to $50,000 for the first year; up to 20 eligible students will compete for awards of $2,500.

The Osher Reentry Scholarship (http://www.bu.edu/met/scholarship/osher/index.html?src=hmgPR) is good news for those who have not been able to complete their bachelor's degree. Returning to school can be a Catch-22: for people in the workforce, finding time for classes can jeopardize years of hard work; on the other hand, not having a bachelor's degree can make career advancement a real challenge.

Metropolitan College (bu.edu/met) is ideally positioned to serve aspiring students who are working full-time and hoping to achieve closure on this chapter of their education. Available to people with a cumulative gap of five years or more in their undergraduate studies, the Osher Reentry Scholarship does a lot to ease the financial burden of going back to school. Combined with Metropolitan College's accessibility--classes are conveniently held in the evenings--the scholarship brings a prestigious Boston University degree within reach.

Along with a variety of part-time undergraduate degrees, the Metropolitan College Executive Degree Completion Program (EDCP) (http://www.bu.edu/met/adult_college_programs/boston_university_metropolitan_college_undergraduate_programs/undergraduate_degree/degree_completion_program/index.html?src=hmgPR) is also open to Osher Reentry Scholars. Tailor-made for motivated professionals, the EDCP not only provides an accelerated course of study towards a bachelor's degree, but follows a cohort format so that students benefit from working alongside others with the same motivation. "We started as a unit and ended as a unit," states alumnus Robert White. "We all studied together, we became friends ? The cohort model was really a strong foundation not only to starting the program, but to finishing the program."

For students with a minimum of 65 transferable undergraduate credits, the EDCP provides a foundation in the liberal arts and sciences, combined with state-of-the-art management theory and practice in a range of management topics, such as finance, electronic commerce, market analysis, and project and operations management. Studying evenings and Saturdays, EDCP students can earn a Boston University Bachelor of Science in Management Studies in as little as 20 months.

To be eligible for the Osher Reentry Scholarship, applicants must be between the ages of 25 and 50; be planning to return to or continue in the workforce; and demonstrate financial need.

To learn more about this opportunity, please call 617-353-2980 or e-mail metuss@bu.edu.
