The Charlie Bell Scholarship for Future Leaders 2018

Outline

In recognition of the contribution made by the former McDonald's Corporation CEO, Charlie Bell, a scholarship for future leaders has been created in his name.

Charlie commenced his career as a crew person with McDonald's Kingsford in 1976 at the age of 15 and quickly progressed through the ranks, becoming Australia's youngest restaurant manager at the age of 19. He was appointed Managing Director of McDonald's Australia in 1993 and then ultimately President and Chief Executive Officer of McDonald's Corporation in April 2004 at the age of 43.

The Charlie Bell Scholarship for Future Leaders will reward successful candidates with a contribution of up to $15,000 towards tuition fees for their chosen undergraduate or post graduate study.

All short-listed applicants will be presented with an opportunity to participate in a leadership program, facilitated by DDI Asia Pacific, focused on the fundamentals of leadership, how to better motivate people and provide feedback and the personal attributes that can enable or derail leaders.
