SCHOLARSHIPS

Education and development is a strong part of the development pillar of the Council. As part of our efforts in the area, we provide a number of opportunities for minority-owned businesses to win scholarships to further their education, growth and capacity. Outlined below are several annual opportunities:

Each year the DFW Minority Supplier Development Council chooses 4-5 certified minority-owned owned companies for E Awards Supplier of the Year. There are four different categories awarded:

• Revenue Level 1 – companies with annual revenues less than $1 million
• Revenue Level 2 – companies with revenues between $1 million and $10 million
• Revenue Level 3 – companies with revenues between $10 million and $50 million
