Abstract
Scholarship is a relevant component in the search for success by many educational institutions. Its importance is highlighted and enforced by different accreditation bodies all over the world, as an effort to pursue quality and relevant content in higher education. Diversity and Inclusion is one of the most challenging topics we live today in a globalized and multi-cultured workplace. Scholarship in Diversity and Inclusion must remain at the forefront of institutions that are expected to remain competitive within the educational sector and be recognized as role models to the society they serve. This chapter describes a proposal for a pilot scholarship initiative in Latin American and Caribbean business schools aiming to better prepare professionals for Diversity and Inclusion.
