Scholarship opportunity for young person in Allerdale and Copeland
Dr Kate Granger Scholarship
A scholarship available each year for one Cumbrian student, The Dr Kate Granger Scholarship, offered jointly by UCLan and the North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust.
The scholarship will cover all tuition fees for the duration of the 5 year programme and clinical placement costs in the respective Trusts, plus a bursary for subsistence which will be equal to the maximum amount of subsistence allowance that the Student would be entitled to if they were to borrow from the Student Loans Company. The latter will be means tested as part of the UCLan's MBBS UK Scholarship application process.
Scholarship students will be taught alongside the MBBS cohort throughout the 5 year programme, commencing at the Preston campus.
The successful applicants will ideally be resident in Copeland or Allerdale. If no successful applicant from Copeland or Allerdale is eligible then students from the wider Cumbria region will be considered.
We particularly welcome applications from widening participation students and those who may have faced barriers to HE.

Access to Apprenticeships — fully funded bursary for students — Workington
Gen2 has acquired funding from the City and Guilds Group to fund 10 learners through a Level 2 Performing Engineering Operations qualification.
This will be a 2.5 day a week training programme delivered at our Head Office in Lillyhall, for students aged between 16-18 by September 2018, who have yet to secure an apprenticeship.
They will study a range of practical units including mechanical, welding, electrical etc., as well as gain key employability skills and work experience activities.
Because this is fully funded by City and Guilds Group, we need to ensure bursaries are awarded to the right applicants (those in most financial need) and therefore I was wondering if you could help me promote this but please be aware, students who wish to apply MUST meet 2 of the 5 eligibility points below:
- First generation to go to university
- A care leaver
- In receipt of, or previously been eligible for, free school meals (FSM)
- Either fewer than five GCSEs at C/5 and above, including English or Maths or past or predicted grades CCC or less at A-level (or equivalent)
- Lives in 30% of most deprived area of the UK. *measured by the indices of deprivation
In addition to the above, the funding for this course will also cover the following for successful learners:
- Travel to the course and to home
- Food/beverages allowance for the course
- If necessary, childcare can be claimed
- Books and learning materials for the course
To apply or for further information, contact the HR department at recruitment@gen2.ac.uk .
