Bursaries

City & Guilds  Bursary Programme helps people who are financially unable to study for one of our qualifications

We award approximately 100 bursaries every year for people who wish to study for a City & Guilds or ILM qualification in the United Kingdom, but lack the funds.

Bursaries are grants that cover costs arising as a result of taking one of our qualifications which can include:

• Course and/or exam fees
• Learning materials  
• Travel
• Childcare
• Living expenses 

Qualification criteria

To qualify for a bursary, you will need to:

• Be 16 years or over
• Be currently studying, or wanting to study a City & Guilds or ILM qualification
• Currently be a resident of and study in the UK
• Demonstrate in your application that you are in genuine financial need

Please note that the next bursary round is intended to financially assist learners from 1 March 2018.

We do not make any retrospective payments for course fees and study materials incurred before 1 March 2018. This also includes self-funded payments or loans that you may have taken out with a college or bank.
