Successful candidates for the programme will get to study on a two-week management development course at Cranfield University in Bedfordshire; Cornell University in the US, or Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne in Switzerland.

Funded through The Worshipful Company of Innholders, the Savoy Educational Trust and the Lord Forte Foundation, the scholarships include the entire cost of tuition, board and lodging.

Whether you work in a large five-star city hotel, a small provincial property or a boutique B&B, the programme is designed for both general managers as well as those heads of department with clear management potential."
