Is a scholarship for me?
The Master Innholder Scholarships have been designed to help
hospitality management access further training opportunities. The
scholarships are designed for both general managers and heads of
department who demonstrate clear management potential. Applications are
welcomed from anyone, regardless of where they work within the hotel
sector; however, priority will be given to those candidates who can
demonstrate the greatest need of financial support. In this context, we
recognise that small, independent businesses frequently lack the
resources to train their management.
Do I need qualifications?
We are more interested in your future potential than how well you did
at school or university. There is no minimum level of qualification,
academic or otherwise to be awarded a scholarship. However, each of the
courses involves a sustained period of reflection and study and the
assessors will want to be sure that you have the necessary aptitude to
benefit from, and contribute to, this experience.
What about my communication and interpersonal skills?
Group study and interaction with fellow students is central to each
course and the assessors will test whether you have the necessary
communication and interpersonal skills by reviewing your written and
verbal reasoning competency and awareness of topical issues both within
and beyond the hospitality industry.
What is required of me?
The assessors have a duty to ensure each award achieves the overall
objective of advancing management skills in the UK hospitality industry.
You must demonstrate a clear long term commitment to the industry, its future, and to developing the people who work in it.
English Language Requirements: Applicants whose
first language is not English are usually required to provide evidence
of proficiency in English at the higher level required by the
University.
Application Procedure:
How to Apply: Please submit to Gillian Croxford:
Gillian-at-innholders.co.uk. The application process consists of a
1,000-word essay on an industry topic and a background on the
candidate’s career to date. Successful applicants will be invited to an
interview at Innholder’s Hall before the final selection is awarded.
Priority is given to those who are in the greatest need of financial
support, recognising that small, independent businesses can lack the
resources required to offer comprehensive training opportunities.
