Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CMI Management Bursary?
As part of our 75th Anniversary celebrations, we are offering 75 people a bursary of up to £1000 per year, for a maximum of three years to support their management/leadership development.
The Bursary is split into three offerings:
Map to Management Award:
An award for those who aspire to be a manager, or find themselves in an entry level role. The applicant should have no formal management and leadership qualification.
Next Generation Award:
An award for those who find themselves in a junior management position. The applicant should have no formal management and leadership qualification, or is looking to progress their existing qualification to a higher level.
Pathway to Progression Award:
An award for those who have 3+ years experience in management. The applicant should have no formal management and leadership qualification, or is looking to progress their existing qualification to a higher level.
In order to be eligible for the bursary, the recipient must have either identified or have confirmed enrollment on a CMI qualification at a CMI approved centre. The bursary money can either be paid directly to the successful recipient to help towards course-related expenses, or directly to the centre providing the training towards the cost of the qualification. Applicants will need to identify where the money is to be paid to in their application process
