WASHINGTON – The Howard University School of Business is pleased to announce The Nature’s Bounty Co. Scholarship Fund, which includes $25,000 for five scholarships to School of Business students based on academics and financial need.

“We are thankful to The Nature’s Bounty Co. for this generous donation, which will support five students over the next five years,” said Kanika Jones, Ph.D., Howard University assistant dean of student affairs. “Financial struggles often adversely impact academic success and retention, so when donors like The Nature’s Bounty Co. step forward to remove this barrier to student success, they are directly ensuring a more diverse workplace.”
