GWLP Scholars
Since 2017, the Global Women’s Leadership Programme has awarded over 35 scholarships to women on MBA, MSc and Undergraduates courses. The scholars’ areas of expertise range from law, finance, banking and technology to media and the arts. But they are all linked by their strong academic achievements and their passion to support women’s leadership.
Community
The Bayes Global Women’s Leadership Programme creates a community for scholars - by joining the GWLP Executive Board they help steer the programme and create opportunities to support women’s leadership at Bayes and beyond. Alumni (scholars and others) also join the Board, to give back to the Bayes community and share their expertise.
Impact
Scholars have the opportunity to develop and lead projects, as well as formulate and moderate events and workshops and make a valued contribution to life at Bayes. Our Peer Mentoring Project set up initially by GWLP Scholar Diana Squires, has offered an important support network to over 100 Bayes women over the past three years. And in 2021 GWLP Scholar Clarice Metzger set up a new business group at Bayes - Black in Business Group.
