Thus far, it has awarded 29 scholarships worth more than ₤50,000 each to future public sector leaders.

For one year, scholarship awardees learn from world-class faculty and experts in public service and interact with other prospective public sector leaders from across the globe. Then they return to their home country with the knowledge they have gained from their degree program, and a determination to transform policy-making and support positive reforms in their domains.
