New Zealand managers are invited to apply for valuable scholarship at top business school in Europe. The James Stuckey scholarship is offered by the Cranfield School of Management and provides £10,000 toward the £26,500 for full year’s tuition fees. In addition the UK-NZ Link Foundation will pay the return airfare for the successful candidate.
The opportunity is only available to native New Zealanders or New Zealanders resident elsewhere but intending to return to work here. Previous scholarship winners include David Ryan, now senior advisor in the Crown Company Monitoring Unit, who says the Cranfield MBA offered an “outstanding reputation, links with industry for project work, good mix of international students and … is designed for people like me at certain stage in their career”.
Deadline for scholarship applications is April 16 for the 2007/2008 programme.
