Previously known as Emerging Leaders, our Aspiring Leaders scholarship has been created to acknowledge an applicant’s outstanding leadership potential by providing tuition funding of up to 50%. Successful applicants have held senior leadership positions from a young age, led innovation projects outside of their normal scope, or have demonstrated strong leadership capabilities from early in their career.
