Ruben Mesa EMBA ’15 Memorial Fellowship

The University of Texas at Dallas Executive MBA Class of 2015 established a scholarship in honor of their friend and classmate, Ben Mesa. Ben passed away in a tragic accident in June 2015, two weeks after graduation. Ben’s zest for life, family and lifelong learning were only a few of the qualities that made him a great classmate and a growing leader in his professional field. Ben saw great value in continuing education, which is why he decided to pursue his master’s degree later in his career, while holding a demanding finance leadership role and raising his two sons, Zachary and Aidan.

Award: $2,500 (one-time) tuition credit during the scholarship award period. Up to four scholarships may be awarded.

Duggirala Endowed Executive MBA Fellowship

This fellowship was established in honor of Venkateswara Duggirala, an Indian born Global Leadership Executive MBA graduate. “DV” grew up in a lower middle class where it was next to impossible to think of continuous and experiential education. He worked in India, transitioning early to Enterprise Resource Planning. This allowed him the opportunity to operate as a global citizen. He moved to the US and realized that the missing link in his education was an executive MBA from UT Dallas – providing the perfect blend of experience, flexibility, content and brand.

Award: $2,500 (one-time) tuition credit during the scholarship award period for each scholarship. Up to one scholarship will be awarded.
