WHAT IS A SPONSOR KIT?

A Sponsor Kit is a set of documents designed to help you secure financial or study support from your employer. It presents the business case for why sponsoring your studies is valuable not only for your personal growth, but also for the organisation’s success.

Access Your Sponsor Kit Resources

Each kit contains: 

  • A letter to your manager: A professional template you can adapt with your manager’s details, your details, and the specific request for tuition support. 
  • A detailed Sponsor Pack: A concise, employer-facing document that outlines programme outcomes, skills you will bring back to your role, workload and time commitments, tuition fees and payment options, and clear examples of how your assessments or projects can be applied directly to workplace challenges. 

Together, these documents give your employer a clear view of the return on investment they can expect, practical details for planning, and reassurance that your studies will directly benefit the team and organisation.
