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.
