University Bursary Grant
Applications are now open for our University Bursary grants, supporting young people from Wiltshire and Swindon as they take their first steps into university this year.
Are you about to begin your university journey?
Wiltshire Community Foundation is offering University Bursary grants to support young people in Wiltshire and Swindon with the costs of studying for an undergraduate degree. Each bursary provides £1,600 per year of your course, helping with essential expenses like travel, books, or general living costs.
As long as your circumstances remain the same, you’ll continue to receive the grant for each academic year of your degree.
