Funding & Bursaries
The cost of YMLP is £2500.
If you are offered a place on the programme, you will be sent a sponsorship letter to assist you with seeking funding from your employer or another sponsor.
While participants are expected to seek funding for their place on the course, there are a number of bursaries available to cover some or all of the cost of YMLP. If you require a bursary, you will be expected to provide information about the steps you have taken in order to raise the money to fund this course

2. Only completed applications will be acknowledged. If your application is not acknowledged please check that all documents
