Cranfield Trust MBA Scholarships for the Voluntary Sector in Europe
Voluntary sector
Cranfield School of Management and The Cranfield Trust* are delighted to offer scholarships for candidates working for a European charitable, voluntary organisation involved in issues of poverty, disability or social exclusion.
Programme: Executive MBA
Value: £31,000 (full tuition fees)
Number of awards: 2
Scholarship details: To be considered for one of these scholarships you should submit your MBA application between 1 September and 31 October.
The selection criteria for the scholarship will be based on the following:
- the strength of the application and the accompanying essay
- the candidate's potential to become a leader within the voluntary sector as a result of the 'Cranfield Experience'
- the candidate’s likely contribution to the voluntary sector in the future
It is anticipated that successful candidates will also contribute to the work of The Cranfield Trust during the programme and in the future.
Additional requirements: In addition to the MBA application form, you should submit a short essay of no more than 500 words on "Why I should undertake the Cranfield MBA and how I think this will increase my contribution to the voluntary sector".
Once offered a place on the MBA programme, short-listed candidates will be invited for a second panel interview with the Executive MBA Programme Director and a representative from The Cranfield Trust*. It is likely that this will take place in the first week of December.
*The Cranfield Trust
In 1988 HRH The Princess Royal challenged Cranfield University to put its skills to use to support the voluntary sector and as a result the Cranfield Trust was created. The Cranfield Trust now offers free management and technical consultancy to other charities, using volunteers, many of whom are students or alumni of the University.
