<p>Friends & Colleagues,</p>
<p>On behalf of the board members of The Rising Farmworker Dream Fund (RFDF), I am proud to announce our third annual MBA Fellowship Program for sons and daughters of migrant/seasonal farm laborers. This year awards will range between $2,500-$5,000 and will include access to a network of MBA graduates and professionals that will help students gain admission to a top graduate business program. There is no set deadline for the awards, but priority will be given to those students that apply by June 30, 2009.</p>

<p>The MBA Fellowship Program is one of many initiatives that support RFDFs mission of using the power and resources of business to improve the lives of farm workers in the U.S. It is a long-term investment to help members of this impoverished community help themselves and help others. Thank you for your support.</p>
<p>Best,</p>
