The idea is simple--but the stakes are sky high.

Nyenrode Business Universiteit and the Lundquist College of Business have teamed up to offer a case competition with an extraordinary prize: a full-tuition scholarship to Nyenrode's Master of Science in Management program.

Business and accounting majors scheduled to graduate from the UO Lundquist College of Business no later than August 2013 can apply to lead a team. Each competitor will recruit two fellow students and work together tackling a challenging, internationally themed business case. The leader of the winning team will receive the Nyenrode scholarship and head to the Netherlands to begin the program this August.

The competition will take place on Friday, April 5. Judges include André Nijhof, director of Nyenrode's management program, and Albert van Servellen, an alumnus of both Nyenrode and the University of Oregon.

"This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to showcase their talents while competing for a prize that will be truly life changing," said Collette Niland, assistant dean of the college's undergraduate programs. "We are thrilled to be working with Nyenrode on this remarkable project."
