Bursaries are awarded to supplement the essential costs of attending a course, conference, seminar, or training programmes. This will include fees and books essential to the course of study, equipment or materials, or to travel to special events or conferences.
There is no automatic help from the trust, each application will be considered on its merit. Applicants are required to provide details of two referees; one referee who can comment on your personal qualities and another who can comment on your training and educational achievement along with your motivation. Referees should not be a close family member.
