Travel bursaries

We offer a number of travel bursaries of up to £50 for UK-based participants at our workshops. In return for the bursary, we request a report on the workshop attended. Travel bursaries will be paid on receipt of a satisfactory report within two weeks of the event. There is generally only one bursary available per event. Priority will be given to hourly-paid and part-time members of staff, and students. Please note that the bursary is not granted until you have received a confirming email.
