Guide to the R3 Bursary Scheme
Supporting the UK's Turnaround, Restructuring and Insolvency Community
As the trade association for the turnaround, restructuring and insolvency profession, R3 brings members and key stakeholders together to collaborate, share knowledge, and enable strong networks to be established across the profession. We achieve this through the delivery of a range of training courses, national and regional events, to support career-long learning and personal and professional development.
R3 is dedicated to greater diversity and inclusion across our training and events. We aspire for R3 to provide a welcoming environment for everyone, regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, age, or socioeconomic background.
How to apply:
Identify an appropriate R3 training course or event where Diversity and Inclusion delegate places are shown as available.
Confirm that the date for submission of an application has not passed.
Complete the online application form.
Submit the application to the email listed on the training course or event that you would like to attend.
All applications submitted will be reviewed by the R3 Bursary Scheme Committee. Their decisions will be final and confidential. All information provided as part of the application process will remain entirely confidential, coherent with governance policies, and will be shared only with the R3 Bursary Scheme committee. All R3 Bursary Scheme committee members will be required to sign a confidentiality agreement to protect the anonymity of applicants.
The R3 Bursary Scheme committee may request additional information or clarification in support of the application.
It is understood that diversity comes in many forms and may be self-defined. This will be interpreted in the widest sense possible. Different criteria may apply to individual courses and events, and these will be made clear on the R3 website.
The selection process does not seek to make any judgements about the relative worth of different types of diversity - instead, it will be responsible for considering each application on its own merits to ensure a wide-ranging representation of the diverse community working in the turnaround, restructuring and insolvency profession.
In awarding a Diversity and Inclusion delegate place the R3 Bursary Scheme Committee may base its decision on several factors including:
- The quality of the application.
- Whether, or not, an applicant has received an R3 bursary in recent years. Preference may be given to those who have not benefited from a bursary in the past.
- Proven or potential contribution to and /or participation in the Association's activities.
The Bursary Scheme Committee will meet shortly after the deadline and applicants will be advised soon afterwards about whether they have been granted an award.
Successful applicants will be notified in writing and will receive a delegate place on the associated training course or event, along with a contribution towards their travel and accommodation, at a standard rate, if appropriate. Successful applicants will be asked to confirm that they are able to take up the offer of the Diversity and Inclusion delegate place.
It will not be possible to transfer the Diversity and Inclusion delegate place to a colleague or an alternative training course or event should the successful applicant not be able to attend as planned. In such circumstances R3 will retain the right to offer the Diversity and Inclusion delegate place to another applicant.
