Will you be going to university in 2026?

Wiltshire & Swindon Community Foundation is offering University Bursary grants to help young people from Wiltshire and Swindon with the costs of studying for an undergraduate degree. The bursary is worth £1,900 per year, for each year of the course, and can be used towards everyday essentials such as travel, books, or general living costs. As long as their circumstances stay the same, funding will continue for each academic year of their degree.
