Supports Students in Macklin Business Institute Honors Program
NEW YORK, 2013-12-02 20:17 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Montgomery College recently secured a three-year grant for the NASDAQ OMX
Educational Foundation Endowed Scholarship, which the foundation established in
2008 with an initial grant from the exchange group. The scholarship supports
students in the Gordon and Marilyn Macklin Business Institute (MBI) honors
program. To date, 16 students have benefited from the scholarship.

The grant is the third commitment from the NASDAQ OMX Educational Foundation
for the endowed scholarship. All three grants were made in memory of the late
Gordon Macklin, the former president of the National Association of Securities
Dealers (NASD) and founder of the NASDAQ Stock Market. The current NASDAQ OMX
Educational Foundation grant also is part of the Gordon and Marilyn Macklin
Foundation's $750,000 challenge grant, which created a dollar-for-dollar
matching challenge of up to $750,000 in gifts and pledges to support the MBI
program.
'Montgomery College is so thankful for the generosity and partnership with the
NASDAQ OMX Educational Foundation,' said Dr. DeRionne Pollard, president of
Montgomery College. 'Scholarship support ensures that our honors business
students will complete their degrees and become our future business and
community leaders.'
'We are thrilled to support the education of young business leaders who are top
performers in the Macklin Business Institute. These students will follow Gordon
Macklin's footsteps to someday contribute to the growth of our economy and the
evolution of our capital markets system,' said Joan Conley, Senior Vice
President and Corporate Secretary at The NASDAQ OMX Group. 'It is our pleasure
to support Montgomery College and their future business leaders to make
business curriculum a strategic priority.'
Through Gordon and Marilyn Macklin's generosity, Montgomery College established
the MBI program in 1999. The innovative business program consists of honors
coursework, internships, seminars, a student-run business, and community
service opportunities. The program offers a one-year option for sophomore
students and a two-year option for recent high school graduates. Graduates
transfer to some of the country's top business schools. On January 5, 2011,
five recipients of the NASDAQ OMX Educational Foundation Endowed Scholarship
visited the NASDAQ MarketSite in New York City's Times Square, and rang the
NASDAQ Closing Bell to launch the partnership.
