Two scholarships for voluntary sector managers on Cranfield MBA
Howard Lake | 16 July 2008 | News
For the fifth year running, Cranfield School of Management and the Cranfield Trust are offering two scholarships worth £28,000 each to voluntary sector managers to study the part-time, two-year MBA at Cranfield.
The ‘Cranfield Trust Scholarship for the Voluntary Sector in Europe’ is designed for managers in the voluntary sector who want to invest time in their professional development without giving up their day job.
Previous scholarship recipients include Charles Scott, Finance Director at Help the Aged, who said: “The Cranfield MBA makes you so much more effective. As a personal development programme it has improved everything I do and not just at work.”
Jane Hatfield achieved directorship level as a result of her MBA from Cranfield and is now Director of Policy, Planning and Research for Breast Cancer Care. She said: “I am very proud of the fact that I did the MBA. It increased my confidence in my ability as a manager.”
Candidates for the scholarship must be working for a European voluntary organisation involved in issues of poverty, disability or social exclusion. The next applications cycle opens on 1 September 2008 and the deadline for submissions is 31 October 2008.
