From Ascribe Newsfeed: Columbia Business School and Columbia Community Service (CCS) announced the 2008 Nancy Rupp Community Agency Scholarships. The scholarships provide funding for local non-profit professionals to attend Executive Education programs at the School's Institute for Not-for-Profit Management (INM). The 2008 recipients are Maleka Covington, Harlem RBI; Bethsheba Cooper, Legal Outreach; Catherine Cajas, Perhaps Kids Meeting Kids Can Make a Difference; and Karen Geer, Opus 118 Harlem School of Music. CCS conducts an annual fundraising appeal to Columbia University faculty and employees and distributes the funds raised to community groups within a 30-block radius of the school. Each year a portion of the appeal is allocated to the Rupp scholarship, which provides tuition assistance to professionals from CCS grantee organizations to attend programs in management and leadership development. "These scholarships provide critical tuition assistance to nonprofit executives for graduate-level professional development, enabling our local community groups to build their management and leadership capacities in order to carry out their organization's mission with greatest impact," said INM director, Francine Lynch. Through Columbia's Institute for Not-for-Profit Management (INM), participants can enroll in programs that build organizational capacity and leadership in the not-for-profit and public sectors.
