Breaking Barriers Corporate Scholarship Programme

This scholarship programme invites applications from marginalised researchers affiliated with any UK university, as well as self-taught individuals navigating professional circumstances both in and out of work. These awards are designed to empower those grappling with financial constraints, representation deficits, limited access to professional networks, and challenges of bias and stereotyping.

We aim to help dismantle the barriers that stand in the way of potential, by cultivating a culture of corporate inclusivity. These scholarships are to inspire those who might otherwise perceive their dreams as unattainable, giving them the opportunity to fully participate in EnterpriseTECH.

Each award fully covers the programme fee and includes a discretionary grant for travel and accommodation. We believe that by championing diversity, fostering representation, and investing in untapped talent, we can ignite the spark of entrepreneurship in every corner of society. Empowerment begins here, and we’re committed to fostering it one scholarship at a time.
