PGR Bursary Application: Guidelines
The school of ECLS has a very limited amount of funding for bursaries for students in financial difficulty. Normally this
consists of part-support for your fees.
Please supply as much information as possible about the reasons why you need a bursary, and about other sources of
funding that you have or that you have applied for.
The amount of funding we have is likely to vary year on year, so any application will be for one year only. You can however
re-apply the following year, whether or not a bursary is awarded this year.
When you have completed the student sections of the form, please return to Frances Cook. She will forward to your
supervisor to complete.
