Superior STEM Bursary Fund

In partnership with leading Wimborne engineering company Superior, the Superior STEM Bursary Fund supports disadvantaged young people aged 16-25 on STEM courses with bursaries of up to £1,500. The scheme is intended to assist young people attending further education courses in STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics). Applicants must be residents of a specific area in Dorset and plan to attend a STEM course at Bournemouth and Poole College, Brockenhurst College or Bourne Academy Sixth Form. Applicants must be aged 16 to 25 who live on a family income of less than £30,000 or have other challenges including care leavers or cared for young people, those who have caring responsibilities for other members of their family, disabled young people and those with special educational needs. Grants of up to £1,500 may be used to support essential costs associated with the course including required equipment or clothing, course fees, travel costs, and IT equipment.
