LGBTQIA+ Executive Fellowship Scholarship

The LGBTQIA+ Executive Fellowship Scholarship, powered by BHP, is a full scholarship offered by the University of Sydney Business School and The Pinnacle Foundation. It provides leadership development opportunities to those who identify as LGBTQIA+ or as part of another minority group. The scholarship supports participation in the LGBTQIA+ Executive Fellowship program for people from under-represented minority groups who are self-employed or working in not-for-profit (NFP) organisations. This scholarship was established to increase the representation of LGBTQIA+ people in senior leadership roles within Australia. It covers 100% of course fees for the LGBTQIA+ Executive Fellowship program. Recipients must have a minimum of 10 years of relevant professional leadership experience and be able to commit to full attendance and completion of the program. The scholarship is awarded based on a personal statement demonstrating leadership capability, experience, potential, and professional and personal goals. Shortlisted applicants may be required to attend an online interview. Upon program conclusion, recipients provide a written statement and video outlining the program's impact on their leadership development.
