Entrepreneurship is celebrated at Cranfield School of Management and we are proud of the number of incredibly successful entrepreneurs who are Cranfield MBA alumni.

We have a thriving entrepreneurial community, which includes some very well-known names, not least two dragons (from Dragons’ Den!). This scholarship was set up to recognise our future potential entrepreneurial stars who have an ambition to realise their business idea either during, or following, the MBA.

This scholarship was also set up in honour of Professor Leo Murray who retired as Director of the School of Management in 2003.
