The Mortgage Mum, in partnership with LIBF has launched a fully-funded scholarship designed to create opportunities for individuals from underrepresented communities aspiring to enter the mortgage and financial services profession.
Applications are now open for the Mortgage Mum, LIBF Scholarship which will offer three successful applicants fully-funded access to LIBF’s CeMAP qualification, alongside tailored mentoring, industry insight, and personalised career development guidance delivered by The Mortgage Mum’s performance managers.
The Mortgage Mum is particularly looking for applications from people from underrepresented groups, or those who are keen to explore the profession but have faced barriers in the past, for instance not knowing anyone working in the sector, having job or family commitments which have previously prevented study.
Commenting The Mortgage Mum founder and chief executive Sarah Tucker said:“The mortgage industry can be an incredible career — but too often, the route in isn’t equally accessible to everyone. This scholarship is about removing barriers and opening doors. We’re funding training, but more importantly we’re providing mentoring, encouragement, and real industry insight — giving someone the support they need to take that first step, and hopefully creating a ripple effect from there.”
She added: We want people from underrepresented backgrounds to see this profession as one they belong in — and one they can truly thrive in.”
