Informa Connect Academy Scholarship Programme

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 launch our Scholarship Programme. A transformative initiative designed to expand access to education, empower future leaders, and help shape a more inclusive and resilient maritime and 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.

Why We’re Launching This Programme

Across the globe, professionals with the potential to make a profound difference in their industries often face barriers to education. By offering scholarships, we aim to break down those barriers. Whether it’s advancing maritime safety, enhancing global security, or driving legal reform, our goal is to nurture individuals whose work will contribute to a safer, smarter, and more sustainable world.
