Funding Opportunities
Succeed Award
The Succeed Award is a bursary programme designed to assist young individuals in the local community of Buckinghamshire in pursuing apprenticeships, vocational courses or higher education. Each successful applicant will receive an unrestricted bursary of £1,000 to support their studies or training. The award is specifically targeted at driven individuals with aspirations for higher education or vocational training who need financial support to fuel their academic or career journey. Awards of £1,000 are granted to applicants who can best demonstrate a strong commitment to their existing studies or training, a track record of previous achievement, and clear future plans aligned with their educational or career aspirations. The programme supports individuals who are in at least their second year of higher education, vocational course, study, or training programme, or apprentices with a minimum of one year of experience in their role. Applicants must have a strong connection to Buckinghamshire (excluding Milton Keynes), demonstrated by either residency in the local area for at least five out of the last seven years, or having worked or studied in the local area for at least four out of the last five years. This award can only be applied for once per individual.
Savoy Educational Trust Fund
This fund has been created to support young people (aged 18-30) in the hospitality sector. The grants are aimed at individuals who are committed to a long-term career in the UK hospitality industry to enable them to develop appropriate skills to thrive in this exciting sector. Funding is available to support a broad range of costs, providing that you can demonstrate how the expenditure will support the growth of your career or studies. Examples include recognised short courses or training programmes, support for travel and accommodation for work experience, training to use specialised equipment, costs of essential equipment or clothing necessary for hospitality work, support for costs associated with entering competitions, training courses that can advance hospitality careers, and refurbished technology related to learning. The funders are committed to the principles of equity, so the priority for this fund is to support those with less advantage or limited resources, who may not be able to generate funding from other sources.
The William Harding Bursary
The William Harding Bursary has been created to support young apprentices aged 18-30 either working or living in the Aylesbury area who are committed to their chosen apprenticeship. Applicants must be able to provide evidence of a connection to the Aylesbury area by way of home address or apprenticeship location, and must have been undertaking a formal apprenticeship for at least three months. Priority is given to applicants who best demonstrate their long-term interest in their chosen field or industry, and those who can demonstrate how the bursary award will impact their future career prospects. Applications are reviewed by the Heart of Bucks Grants Team, with decisions typically made within six to eight weeks of submission. The bursary is paid directly to successful applicants' bank accounts.
