BURSARY Applications

Students who qualify under the terms of the legacy that established the Charity are invited to apply for a bursary. These terms are that the student must:

*Prior to their application to have lived or studied in the County of Worcestershire or in Dudley;
*Study at either Cambridge University, Barts and The London School of Medicine or the Three Counties Medical School in Worcester;
* In addition, students who are currently in receipt of a bursary but have NOT studied of lived within the new geographical areas ARE eligible to make repeat applications for the duration of their studies.

Application for 2026/27 bursaries open on 4th August 2026 and close on 2nd October 2026. The value of individual bursaries is agreed by the Trustees on an annual basis and may increase or decrease, reflecting available funds and the number of applicants. Trustees evaluate all those applications received annually during October following which applicants will be advised whether they have been successful. In order to receive a bursary, the Trustees will require, from you, a certificate of attendance from the relevant educational establishment. Students who have been supported by bursaries are encouraged to submit Testimonials as to the help given by the Charity and to promote awareness of the Charity amongst peers and contacts who may also qualify for support.
