SCHOLARSHIPS

TIME  believes now is the time for inspirational people in the industry to add to their skills and look at new ways of  growing.

A small number of scholarships are offered by TIME partners each year to foster and retain talented people who might not otherwise be able to cover their program fees.

TIME scholarships are intended to encourage participation by individuals from all sectors of the industry to assist them with this unique personal growth opportunity.

Accordingly, TIME is calling for scholarship applications from ambitious industry professionals wishing to take action and accelerate their careers through mentoring.
