Education bursaries
Almost everything the Branch does reaches men and women in their eighties. The bursary is the part that goes the other way.
We help members and their families with the cost of education, where money is what stands between someone and the course they want to do.
What we can help with
-
Course fees (vocational only)
-
Accommodation
-
Public transport to attend
-
Textbooks and course equipment
-
Laptops, printers, and software the course requires
-
Specialist clothing
This list is not exhaustive. If what you need is not on it, apply anyway and set out your case; the Committee considers every application on its own merits and makes exceptions where the case is there. Grants may be paid in one sum or in instalments across the length of a course; note that receipts will be required to fulfil the following:
