Informa Connect Academy Scholarship Programme
Returning for 2026. Empowering Change. Advancing Careers.
At Informa Connect Academy, we believe education is not just a personal journey - it’s a catalyst for global progress.
As an organisation rooted in knowledge and driven by impact, we are proud to renew for 2026 our Scholarship Programme. A transformative initiative designed to expand access to education, empower future leaders, and help shape a more inclusive and resilient security sector.
This initiative is a reflection of our enduring commitment to social responsibility and the belief that talent, drive, and dedication - not financial means - should determine one’s opportunity to grow and lead.
