Fiona Hathorn, CEO and Co-Founder of Women on Boards UK, catches up with previous Bursary participants Rituja Rao and Nicky Neal-Smith about why they applied for the bursary, how they found it and what their plans are for the future. Rituja, a young tech professional, participated in our 2021 Bursary programme. Nicky, a former finance professional returning from a career break, is currently participating in the 2022 programme.

The Women on Boards UK Bursary Programme is designed to help women who would not otherwise be able to afford our support. Our 2023 bursary is generously sponsored by leading global executive search firm Heidrick & Struggles.
