Sainsbury Engineering Management Fellows Scholarship

Overview

The Sainsbury Management Fellows Scholarship programme was founded in 1987 by Lord Sainsbury of Turville, who hoped that learning business skills through world-class MBA studies would help engineers to set up their own high-tech businesses or progress to the top of large UK companies. The scheme has supported more than 400 engineers and created 300 new companies worth almost £5 billion in the UK.

The Sainsbury Management Fellowship (SMF) scheme enables engineers of high career potential to undertake a full-time MBA, at leading national and international business schools. Sainsbury Management Fellows have an excellent track record in securing leadership roles in UK industry and have made a major contribution to the UK’s economic prosperity.
