We also administer scholarships which are similar to bursaries but they don’t normally carry a service obligation or employment contract. They are usually awarded by Trust or Non-Profits such as Foundations. The awards are made on the basis of academic merit and financial need. Successful recipients of a scholarship are free to explore any work opportunities after graduation. Please see the table below for the scholarships we have on offer.
