The Open University Business school is offering £500 scholarships towards the distance
learning route to the Certificate in Fundraising Management.
The OU scholarship 
will support learners through ‘Winning Resources and Support’, the six-month distance
learning programme it developed with the Institute of Fundraising, which normally
costs between £750 and £1,200.

Applications for the scholarships are invited from any fundraiser – voluntary or
professional – earning less than £25,000 in an organisation with an annual turnover
of less than £2m. Priority will be given to those applications that demonstrate 
a realistic attitude to the commitment required and show clearly how fundraising
skills will benefit their organisation and personal development.

The course uses a combination of specially written texts, face-to-face and online
interaction, together with professionally relevant assignments. The course starts
in November and applications have to be submitted to the OU Business School by Friday,
8 September.
