Applications have now opened for the new Michael Neale Bursary, aimed at funding places on the ICE Windsor Leadership Development Programme.

The programme brings together senior postholders from across the infrastructure sector to collaboratively address strategic leadership challenges.

To date, the programme has supported over 90 leaders, aiming to prepare them to navigate the uncertainties of their roles and any future challenges.

Professor Priti Parikh, an alumnus of the ICE Windsor Leadership Programme, said it was “absolutely transformational”.

The Michael Neale Bursary

Michael Neale was a distinguished member of the ICE, known for his dedication to advancing the field of civil engineering.

His generous bequest has made this annual bursary possible. It reflects his commitment to developing strong business managers and leaders within the ICE community.

The bursary aims to make the programme more accessible to those who have historically found it challenging to cover the programme fees.

How to apply

The ICE is currently seeking potential bursary recipients for the 2025 programme.

The bursary will consider applicants across the following criteria, as evidenced in their application:

  • Contribution within the ICE
  • Examples of leadership
  • Examples of professional success
  • Examples of industry influence

To apply, please complete the bursary scheme application form available on the ICE Windsor Leadership webpage. The deadline for applications is 11.59pm on 30 May.

Each application will be carefully reviewed by the ICE Windsor Leadership Bursary Committee. Acceptance onto the bursary scheme will be at the committee's discretion.

Funding is limited, so interested candidates are encouraged to apply promptly.
