The scholarship will be awarded to the candidate who provides the best proposal for the university’s ‘Footprint Rethink’ competition, which seeks innovation in the field of sustainability.

Proposals should explore how an organisation could reduce its carbon footprint and at the same time improve efficiency and achievement of its own business goals. Proposals can be for innovations in marketing, communication, design, technology, research and development, process, education, political, health, commercial, financial or other ideas that improve carbon footprints.

The chosen candidate will be able to develop their submitted ideas during the course supported by City University London staff.

The scholarship covers the course fee, which is £9 500 for UK applicants and £19 950 for international. It does not cover subsistence, living arrangements or travel costs.
