MCIPS scholarship launched for 2010

02 Sep 2010

The CIPS NSW educational scholarship is now accepting nominations for 2010.

The scholarship is designed to give a career boost to procurement professionals wanting to achieve MCIPS, particularly those who are unable to receive corporate funding for their MCIPS studies.

This scholarship supports a NSW CIPS Australia student to undertake further study that leads towards the MCIPS qualification. It is open to all NSW CIPSA members.

What is MCIPS?
MCIPS stands for Member of the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply. It refers specifically to a fully qualified (full) member, who has achieved the CIPS Level 6 Professional Diploma or an accredited equivalent. 

Full membership confers the post-nominals, ‘MCIPS’.  It represents the equivalent of degree-level education in strategic procurement and the professionalism associated with achieving the highest recognised global standard of excellence in procurement. 

There are several pathways to MCIPS and many different ways to achieve the contributing CIPS Levels. See our How to Achieve MCIPS brochure for more information.

The prize
The successful applicant will be awarded payment of $3,000* as a contribution towards any course of study that leads to the MCIPS qualification.

This could be:
• An accredited MCIPS course at an approved study centre or university
• Distance education via an approved study centre or university
• A CIPS Flexible Learning course; or
• CIPS qualifications (including CIPS-e learning options)

The contribution can also be used to credit November 2010 exam fees, or to cover May 2011 fees.

The Scholarship operates on the principle that providing this opportunity will promote both professional learning and the wider procurement profession, which is one of CIPS Australia’s main objectives.
