YOUR OPPORTUNITY

What is the Scholar Programme?

In 2019, we launched the Bacardi UK Supply Student Scholarship Fund because we want to give individuals the ability to see their full potential within a workplace environment. Therefore, the Bacardi UK Supply is supporting future talent through their University years via financial assistance (which we don’t expect to be paid back to us!). 

As part of our Student Scholarship Programme, you will acquire a range of skills, knowledge and valuable practical experience while you study. You will rotate through various functions (such as distilling, bottling, supply chain, bulk, blending, new product development, procurement, finance, etc.) and work on projects at one of our 8 operational sites across the UK during your university summer holidays. We will also assign you a Mentor/Coach related to a specific field of Global Operations. At the end of your studies, we may both decide there is a longer-term opportunity in the Bacardi Family.

Programme Details
  • Scholarship of £3,000 p.a. for up to 3 years while completing your studies. 
  • Each award is paid to you in two instalments and will be net of tax (we pay the tax for you!)
  • To continue to receive the annual scholarship award, up to a maximum of 3 times (i.e. 3 years of university), you will need to:
  • Achieve A or B grade (or equivalent) scores
  • Complete paid work placements at our operations sites (generally 8-12 weeks each year to happen during your University holiday periods)
  • Ensure you keep to the appointments/development goals as agreed-upon with your appointed Bacardi Mentor.  
At the end of the award(s) period there is no requirement to pay back any of the money to Bacardi and we may jointly decide there is a longer-term opportunity in the Bacardi family, with the possibility of transitioning into our three-year rotational Graduate Programme.
