Many B-schools discourage students from taking on extra work that can overburden them, especially in the first year. In fact, there are always more students wanting an assistantship than we have available. Our deadline for scholarship and assistantship consideration is Mar. 30. Range 650 580-720 Avg.

Leadership also enters into the equation for some of our higher awards.
We try to determine who is going to end up being a leader, not only in the classroom but also outside of it. Right now, we have a very good working relationship with the financial-aid office at the university, and they have a lot of contacts with banks and lenders. Certainly, and it has been growing over the last few years. We're a very large university, with over 45,000 students, so there are ample resources for students and partners to find information on employment. The Lansing and East Lansing area is a relatively small metro market, so it's a well-connected community, and it's usually easy for candidates to determine which companies they'd have a good fit with.
