Two scholarships for an online Master of Business Administration course are being offered by the Ministry of Telecommunications and E-Commerce.

The awards, worth about $8,000, will cover tuition fees for the two-year course at the Schiller International University in Florida, while there is also $500 for books. The Ministry is already sponsoring Bermudians Renee Heyliger and Kevin Anderson on the course.

Telecommunications Minister Renee Webb said: "The offering of these scholarships is a further demonstration that the Ministry is committed to ensuring all our citizens benefit from the e-business revolution now taking place."

Applications must be in by mid-March. Those interested should look at the Schiller University website at www.schiller.edu/mbaib.htm and then call Government e-business advisor Nigel Hickson at 297-7944 or e-mail him at nhickson@gov.bm.
