Funding Opportunities
TOTUS Student Scholarship
The TOTUS Student Scholarship is offered by the University of Plymouth for students intending to study undergraduate Biological Sciences, Marine Biology or Ocean Sciences degrees. With thanks to TOTUS Engineering, the University provides one scholarship per year. The recipient will receive £500 per year for three years (total £1,500) of their undergraduate course (excluding placement year) to help with their studies. This scholarship is specifically designed to support students from underrepresented backgrounds who fulfill at least one of several eligibility criteria including low family income (household income less than £25,000 per year), living in TUNDRA areas where fewer people typically go to university, being a looked-after young person or care leaver, being a carer for a family member or friend, or being estranged from parents. The scholarship aims to increase access to higher education in marine and biological sciences for students facing socioeconomic barriers. Eligible courses span three areas: Biological Sciences (including Biological Sciences, Ecology and Conservation, and Zoology), Marine Biology (including Marine Biology, Marine Biology and Coastal Ecology, Marine Biology and Oceanography, and Marine Conservation), and Ocean Sciences (including Ocean Science, Ocean Exploration and Surveying, and Ocean Science and Marine Conservation).
Plymouth Astor Trust (VHS) Scholarships Bursary
The Plymouth Astor Trust (VHS) Scholarships Bursary provides generous financial support for students each academic year undertaking courses of study relating to the care and education of young children (0-8 years). The trustees are particularly interested in supporting students to access experiences abroad that they would not otherwise be able to afford. Previously, bursaries were provided by the Nancy Langhorne Astor Scholarships Trust, which has since been closed with resources transferred to the Plymouth Astor Trust (VHS). Successful applications in previous years have funded study trips abroad to The Gambia and Prague as well as Forest School and Beach School Training, Introductory Courses in Play Therapy, Makaton, and Paediatric First Aid courses, and costs associated with research activity. The bursary awards up to £750 as a one-off payment towards costs associated with the approved activity, with the possibility of increased amounts in exceptional circumstances subject to trustee discretion.

BOSS Scholars are recognized for being ready to work hard and achieve their goals, driven to make a difference in the world of business, and full of ideas for future success.
