Friday, November 18, 2011

(Reston, Virginia) -- The Graduate Management Admissions Council (GMAC) is inviting schools and other not-for-profit organizations to participate in the Management Education for Tomorrow (MET) Fund's Ideas to Innovation (i2i) Challenge. The $10 million grant competition is designed to challenge schools and nonprofit organizations to transform ideas into initiatives that would improve global graduate management education.

The i2i Challenge kicked off in July as a unique competition designed to spur creative thinking around how to improve graduate management education. In the first round of the Challenge, more than 650 proposals were submitted from faculty, students, and industry representatives, from over 60 countries. From these proposals, 20 winning ideas were selected.

GMAC is excited to announce that the deadline for phase two proposals on how to best implement those 20 winning ideas is now fast approaching.

To review the winning ideas, and provide ideas on how to best implement them, please visit http://www.gmac.com/gmac/aboutus/i2i-challenge/winningideas.htm?SSLSwitch=1. Submissions will now be accepted through December 16, with the first grants awarded early next year. Please reach out to metfund@gmac.com or feel free to contact Allen Brandt, director of the GMAC Met Fund, with any further questions.
