Overview 

We are looking to develop the next generation of leaders who can demonstrate their potential to have a positive, sustainable impact on society and economic recovery.  We are committed to supporting individuals who are not afraid to challenge the status quo and ask searching questions about what kind of society and economy we want to create. 

We aim to attract students from all sectors whose organisations or role directly addresses or contributes to challenging one of the key UN Sustainable Development Goals. The diversity of our cohort is central to our philosophy of a challenging and developmental learning space for all our students and to reflect the regional social and economic landscape. We are particularly keen to attract candidates from under-represented groups within senior leadership roles such as Ethnically Minoritised individuals.  The Scholarships will reward candidates who have the potential to empower, motivate and provide direction in their particular context. 

Successful candidates will demonstrate how their work directly impacts on the UN Sustainable Development Goals and in particular (although not limited to) inclusivity and social justice. 

We are offering progression scholarships for applicants of the Level 7 Senior Leader Apprenticeship leading to a PG Dip in Management Studies. The progression scholarship is to support apprentices to achieve the Executive MBA qualification which sits outside the apprenticeship structure and therefore not accessible via the Apprenticeship Levy. 

Applications for the Sustainable Impact Progression Scholarships will open to apprentices who are on programme in December 2023.
