BIB student Mimi Lam awarded Zonta Scholarship

International business student Mimi Lam has been selected as the Zonta International District 2 recipient of the Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship, valued at $1,000 US.

Her application has been submitted to the International JMK competition which chooses 12 winners from a pool of about 30 applicants, each of whom will receive $7,000 US. The winners will be announced at the end of October.

Mimi is in the Bachelor of International Business (BIB) program with a concentration in Global Financial Management and Systems. She is a Sector Manager for The Fund@Sprott, the school’s student-managed investment portfolio, and is co-president of the Sprott Finance Students Association.

Mimi is in the Mandarin stream of the BIB program and studied abroad in Shanghai during her third year. She also travelled to Belgium last year to compete in the NIBS Worldwide Case Competition, where the Sprott team took the bronze medal.

The Jane M. Klausman Women in Business Scholarship program helps women pursue undergraduate and master’s degrees in business management and overcome gender barriers from the classroom to the boardroom. Recipients are selected based on their outstanding academic record and demonstrated initiative, ambition and commitment to pursuing a career in business.

Since the inception of the program in 1998, Zonta has awarded 314 Scholarships (includes international awards and second award recipients) totaling US $663,800 to 247 women representing 44 countries.
