At ESA our mission is to “inspire, unite and grow a welcoming and diverse sponsorship industry” and with this in mind, we have created the ESA Diploma Scholarship, to help grow the diversity of the sponsorship industry by offering one applicant a place on the 2022 ESA Diploma course. We believe that together we can create an industry-wide movement that promotes an inclusive approach to dialogue and thought leadership, welcoming diverse perspectives and allowing each of us to be ourselves, while shaping the future of international sponsorship.
The ESA Diploma is the only official post-graduate qualification in sponsorship. Until now, all participants have been fee paying. However, from the 2022 intake, the European Sponsorship Association is offering a full scholarship to one applicant.
The scholarship will be awarded based on merit, to the candidate who presents the strongest business case for how they will use the opportunity to further the sponsorship industry and their own career and inspire the next generation of sponsorship professionals.
Applicants must also explain why they need a fully funded seat rather than self-financing or being sponsored by their organisation. No prior experience or qualification is required, but some knowledge of the world of sponsorship is required.
The successful applicant will need to complete the application form below and if successful, will go through to the next stage which may include interviews by an ESA panel.
Good luck!
The deadline for 2022 applications has now closed – thank you to all those who have applied, we will be in touch in the new year.
