GHC Women Student Scholarship

Any women students who are pursuing a STEM-related program at Bentley are eligible to apply for this scholarship. Since 2017, more than thirty Bentley women students from our GHC group have received this competitive scholarship and volunteer opportunities to attend the largest women technologist conference in the world, and more students have received Bentley internal funding to attend the conference. If you have any questions related to this application, please reach out to hhao@bentley.edu.

Hoffman Business Ethics Prize

Each year for the past 25 years, the HCBE has sponsored a $1000 prize for the best essay in business ethics (broadly construed) – one to an undergraduate and one to a graduate student. The Hoffman Prize returns again in 2023!
Papers submitted for the Hoffman Prize must demonstrate academic strength and include a business ethics component. The prize committee takes a wide view of what counts as business ethics. A paper could address corporate social responsibility, corporate political activity, sustainability, organizational diversity and inclusion, conflicts of interest, ESG investing, social entrepreneurship, and more.
Papers can be in the form of an essay, short story, case analysis, research paper, or any other type of written assignment. There is no minimum or maximum page limit. A student may submit more than one paper, and any paper written during the student’s Bentley undergraduate or graduate years can be submitted. 
To be eligible for the prize, applicants must be graduating in May 2023 (or walking, with no more than 2 classes to finish). The deadline to apply is March 23, 2023. Please email gsands@bentley.edu to inquire about the submission process.
