Further & Higher Education Funding

The Royal Bath & West of England Society offers funding for further and higher education students from Southwest England. The program supports students pursuing studies relevant to agriculture, manufacture, commerce, and rural crafts - core values of the Society. Priority is given to applicants whose award would make a significant difference to their lives and future, and to the benefit of the Society and wider rural community. Applications for research projects and second degrees are also considered. Successful applicants are expected to return to the South West upon completion of their studies to contribute to the local economy, steward at the Royal Bath and West Show or Field to Food, and become involved in Society initiatives such as Next Generation. Recipients may be asked to make presentations to the Society and write reports on their awards for inclusion in the Society Journal.
