Scholarship Programme: 6 Week Summer Internships

• Salary - Up to £9,535 Tuition + paid 6 week summer placement

What you’ll be doing

We’re Motability Operations, the organisation that delivers the Motability Scheme to over 860,000 customers across the UK.

We exist to deliver smart, sustainable solutions that improve our customers’ mobility in a fast-changing world. As part of that commitment, we offer two scholarship opportunities for undergraduate students.

These scholarships provide financial support towards tuition fees, paid summer work experience and ongoing mentoring.

What the scholarship includes

Both scholarships offer the same level of support.

You will receive:

• A bursary of up to £9,535 per academic year, paid towards your university tuition fees, for a maximum of four academic years. This bursary supports tuition costs only and is not an additional maintenance payment
• A six week paid summer placement each year during your studies at our London, Bristol or Edinburgh offices
• Ongoing mentoring and guidance from a Motability Operations colleague
• Access to experience across departments such as Technology, Finance, Customer Services, Commercial Operations, Marketing and Human Resources

Our aim is to help reduce financial barriers to higher education while giving you meaningful professional experience.

Six week paid summer placements

Each year, you will complete a six week paid placement with us.

During this time, you will:

• Work on real business projects
• Build professional skills and workplace confidence
• Learn how different parts of our organisation operate
• Gain practical experience that complements your degree
• Placements are structured and supportive, designed to help you develop and grow.

About you

Our scholarships are designed to support talented students from underrepresented backgrounds.

We offer two separate scholarship opportunities, and you can apply for the one that best reflects your lived experience.

Disability Scholarship

Open to students who identify as having a disability, a long term health condition, or who identify as neurodivergent.

Ethnicity Scholarship

Open to students who identify as being from an Asian, Black, Mixed or other Ethnic background.

You can be studying any undergraduate degree subject.

We are looking for students who are motivated to learn, open to new experiences and interested in developing professionally. You do not need previous corporate experience.

The scholarship can support you for up to four academic years. Whether you are about to start university or already studying, we can support you for the remaining duration of your undergraduate degree, up to four years in total.

Minimum criteria

You’ll need all of these:

• Be starting your undergraduate degree in September 2026, or currently studying with at least one academic year remaining
• Be able to attend your six week summer placement at one of our offices • Not have already completed an undergraduate degree

How we work

We work in a hybrid way. That means remotely for up to two days each week and in our great office spaces the rest of the time. This gives us a good work/life balance and lets us collaborate and deliver for our customers.

We do our best to accommodate part-time and flexible working requests, where possible, to build on our culture of trust, empowerment, and flexibility.

Our beliefs and values

We believe in building a diverse workforce, where our people are empowered to attend work as their true selves. We encourage people from all backgrounds to apply.

We want to sustain a nurturing culture. And our people to be rewarded equally, regardless of race, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, age, disability, or gender.

Our values are at the heart of everything we do:

• We believe no one should be left behind → We find solutions
• We believe we must take the lead → We drive change
• We believe everything starts with the customer → We care

Please note, Motability Operations reserves the right to bring forward the closing date of any of its job vacancies if we receive a suitable number of quality applications from which to make a shortlist. Therefore, we recommend that you apply as soon as possible rather than wait until the published closing date.
