Scholarships and Bursaries - the Annual Fund in action

Samantha Laverick Msc Strategic Marketing 2015

Having worked in the field for over 8 years, Samantha sought a more strategic understanding of marketing. When she searched “Strategic Marketing”, Cranfield University was top of the list and came with impressive ratings and positive reviews.

"The scholarship made a massive difference in my life. It enabled me to live on campus and hence has given me the focus I need to achieve good grades. Being somewhat secluded from the hustle of city life, the University offers an environment to focus, learn and succeed.

Cranfield is highly accredited in the industry, with strong links to influential professionals, and it offers the tools you need to make an impact. Our professors are some of the best in their field and the programme offers real life experience in a practical environment.

My plan is to gain international experience in the area of brands and advertising. With the tools and skills gained at Cranfield I will be greatly equipped to make a difference in my chosen field.”

Aya Ghaleb MBA 2015

Aya researched a number of world-class MBA programmes and soon became impressed by how Cranfield was people-orientated, particularly in the area of leadership development.

“Cranfield’s course is structured in a way that makes you discover more about yourself, your strengths and your weaknesses. I knew that this is a place where I would acquire first-hand experience on how to employ my leadership style to face future business complexities and effectively manage and lead change; an inevitable phenomenon in today’s fast-growing business environments.

If you are looking for a university where you can develop yourself, then Cranfield is the right place for you! I feel honoured to be part of this university. I have never seen an organisation so dedicated to its people. Without the scholarship, I would not have been able to come to Cranfield. Now that I am here, I feel lucky because I know for a fact that I would have been missing out on a whole new experience.”
