The CIOB is inviting entrants for the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Fund Scholarship.
These awards are made to students who have shown potential in the early part of their studies and are intended to provide study support during the final year. A requirement of each scholarship is that the recipient and host institution agree to undertake and submit to the CIOB, for possible publication, a major piece of work undertaken during the final year, as part of the programme of studies. The scholarship does not require the recipient to carry out work over and above that required to attain their degree award.
