Equity-Based Scholarship

A commitment to access, equity, and shared responsibility

Why we offer this

We understand that our world is not equal — not yet. Economic disparity across regions, particularly in the Global South, means that the barriers to participation are not always about willingness or capability. They are about access. We believe that transformational leadership tools should transcend geographic and economic barriers.

The Equity-Based Tuition Adjustment exists to make that possible.

How it works

Eligible applicants receive a discount of 30%, 40%, or 50% off the standard £6,000 tuition fee, assessed individually based on context, need, and leadership intent.

Important: If you can afford the full tuition, please do not apply for this adjustment. Each unnecessary application removes access from someone with genuine need. We trust you to honour this.

Only 100 equity-based adjustments are available per cohort. Applications are reviewed individually and allocations are not guaranteed.

Who this is for

You may qualify for an equity-based tuition adjustment if you:

  • Face currency conversion or economic disparity barriers to participation
  • Cannot afford the full tuition based on your personal or organisational circumstances
  • Demonstrate genuine commitment to values-driven city leadership

Our philosophy

"This is not charity — this is equity. This is not a favour — this is a shared commitment to a future where all life can flourish."

Applications are evaluated holistically — considering your context, your leadership intent, and your honesty. We are building a community of city leaders who lead with integrity, and that begins with the application itself.
