Bursary
The Scheme comprises two parts:
A Vulnerable Bursary (£1,200 an academic year) for those most in need of financial support, i.e. young people who are:
• In Care
• Living independently, having left Local Authority care
• Receiving Income Support or Universal Credit
• Disabled young people in receipt of Employment Support Allowance or Universal Credit who are also in receipt of Disability Living Allowance or Personal Independence Payments.
A Discretionary Bursary available for those in need of finance to help them meet specific costs to enable them to stay in education and complete their courses, e.g. transport, equipment, fieldwork costs.
Further information can be found in the Bursary Fund Booklet 2026-27, which is below.
