Bursaries
Thanks to the generous financial support of various funding partners as well as a number of individual donors, Coady Institute is able to offer partial bursaries to most candidates accepted into the Institute’s education programs.
Coady prioritizes bursary support for candidates working full-time in the global south for a reputed development agency. Preference will be given to candidates from disadvantaged groups (women, the differently abled, ethnic minorities, and Indigenous communities, etc.).
Coady may accept a candidate with a partial bursary, or no bursary support.
Candidates are required to cover their own costs.
