The NAWBO-LA Enterprise Institute strives to widely disseminate educational opportunities and resources to entrepreneurs in need, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds that could not otherwise gain access. Working closely with corporate sponsors, academic institutions and foundations that share in our desire to foster economic development and entrepreneurial education for women business owners, the Enterprise Institute has established a scholarship program for women in the Greater Los Angeles area.

Each year, NAWBO-LA Enterprise Institute is proud to offer a unique opportunity for women business owners to compete for scholarships toward the enrollment in the Management Development for Entrepreneurs (MDE) Program offered by UCLA Anderson School of Management – valued at over $4,000. The MDE Program, a 10-day certificate program, is a premier educational opportunity that enables entrepreneurs to develop essential management skills and strengthen their ability to build and manage effective and profitable organizations.
