The world renowned Cranfield School of Management in the UK will present a scholarship to any member of the three leading IFAC accountancy bodies in Sri Lanka, the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), the Institute of Chartered Accountants Sri Lanka (ICASL) or the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants Sri Lanka Branch (CIMA). Full Time MBA Programme Director Sean Rickard who informed Sri Lanka of the scholarship said, “We hope the scholarship attracts candidates who will benefit from this initiative and that, with the help of the accounting bodies in Sri Lanka, it will raise Cranfield’s profile. We are extremely grateful for the support of the institutes in this. We will be reviewing the success of the programme after two years.”
ACCA Sri Lanka’s Immediate Past President, Dilshan Rodrigo, himself an alumni of the Cranfield School of Management extends his best wishes to all candidates and says, “I hope most sincerely that this initiative will signal the birth of a new generation of professional skilled managers who will add value to the corporate boardrooms of Sri Lanka.” Stating that this is truly a world class MBA ranked consistently as one of the top MBAs in Europe, he adds, “This one year full time programme is ideally suited for members in middle and senior management positions with ambitious career goals.” Rodrigo, who has continued to maintain ties with Cranfield, further reinforced the relationship once he became President of ACCA Sri Lanka, sourcing resource speakers for the ACCA National Conferences in the last two years. “Two people who played significant roles in mooting this scholarship from the Cranfield end are the former Director of the MBA Programme Professor Leo Murray who was the Keynote Speaker at our conference in 2006 and has a soft spot for Sri Lankans and Sri Sriskanthan, a Sri Lankan faculty member on the MBA programme.”
Cranfield has produced a distinguished honour roll of MBA alumni from Sri Lanka over the last two decades including Managing Director of Hatton National Bank Rajendra Theagarajah, Senior Vice President of WNS Arul Sivagananathan and Group Financial Controller of Stretchline Hasantha de Silva. Members of ICASL, ACCA and CIMA must apply directly to Cranfield School of Management, for which instructions are available on the Cranfield website ww.som.cranfield.ac.uk/som/mba/, marking the application ‘Sri Lanka Scholarship’.

The second golf outing to benefit Fairmont State University’s MBA program will be held next Sunday at White Day Golf Course.
Organizers Jeff Jacobs, Dan Everly and Terri Markle are hoping for a full field of 36 participants, compared to the 18 golfers at the first tournament.
“Our last one was on a football Saturday with WVU playing a home game, so I think we were as successful as we could hope with 18,” Jacobs said.
The format of the tournament is a two-person scramble. Registration starts at 7 a.m., with a shotgun start at 8 a.m.
Markle recommended registering early for the tournament at the course or by phoning Jacobs at 816-6370 or Everly at 838-3075.
Cost is $35 per golfer, which includes 18 holes of golf, cart and sandwiches provided by East Side Subway. Mulligans are also available to purchase.
“We are very pleased with the results to date,” Jacobs said. “We locked down quite a few sponsors and some great prizes as well.”
Some of those prizes include a new driver from Allegheny Power and putter from Pets Plus. Golf USA has offered some door prizes as well as two rounds of simulation golf, free rounds of golf at White Day and various other golf supplies.
Each player will also receive a gift bag of accessories for the tournament.
“It’s running smoothly,” Jacobs said. “We were a little nervous about the sponsors, but it looks like we will get what we needed.”
The tournament is more than just a fundraiser.
It is also the MBA program’s project management course, and Jacobs said they hope the program can continue after he graduates this year.
“We are compiling some documentation for future students to keep this up,” he said. “Eventually we’d like to grow it into something a little larger, but White Day and Marty Morgan have been a big help to us.”
The school is also looking to continue fundraising in the future for the MBA program, Jacobs and Markle said.
That means the golf outing could become a permanent fixture of the summer season.
“The fact that we got enough sponsors will help future golf outings for the program,” Jacobs said.
