In order to form a strong partnership for building a globally competitive workforce, Globe University/Minnesota School of Business offers a Business Alliance Scholarship to students currently employed by businesses that have taken the necessary steps to become an approved strategic partner through the Globe University/Minnesota School of Business business alliance. A total of ten (10) partnerships will be approved on an annual basis. In order to be eligible, the business must have a minimum of 100 employees. 

Students currently employed by approved business partners must meet the following criteria for eligibility for the Business Alliance Scholarship:
