Special Feature

In the May issue of Business Leads, we reported the establishment of the Ian Ferguson MBA Scholarship.

This was set-up with a $280,000 donation from the Ian Ferguson Foundation. The endowment income will be used to award an annual scholarship to an MBA student to fund the tuition for a two-year MBA program.

In this issue, we profile the man whom the award will be named after.
