The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) has announced that it would dedicate proceeds from its 3rd Annual Summit on Diversity and Inclusion, totaling $100,000, to its Path to Diversity & Inclusion Scholarships. The scholarships support diverse individuals who take MBA Education courses for professional development.

“We are honored that we can dedicate this amount to a core mission of MBA’s diversity and inclusion efforts,” said MBA Chairman-Elect Dave Motley, chairman of MBA's Diversity and Inclusion Committee. “Interest for this conference continues to increase, which was one of the main reasons we were able to support the Path to Diversity & Inclusion Scholarships.”

So far this year, donations toward the scholarship fund equaled $110,250. In 2016, 92 scholarships totaling more than $75,000 have been awarded.

Scholarship recipients will receive a voucher to cover registration fees for any MBA Education Program offering, up to a maximum of $2,000.
