New bursary scheme offers £500 awards to tenants to support learning
The Unlocking Success Bursary Scheme will award bursaries of £500 to help you develop your learning and skills to support your future employment.
The bursary covers a study period of up to a year and can support you with the cost of the learning itself. If you are already involved in an area of learning it can help to fund books, equipment, travel costs, childcare or other living costs that will help you to complete a period of learning.
The scheme is run by the Northern Housing Consortium, a membership body of housing associations and local authorities. To be eligible to apply for the bursary, you must be aged 16 or over and be housed by Habinteg or any other social landlord. You also must be using the bursary to enhance your skills to further your development (this can be at any level).
Deadline for application is Monday 16 March 2020. Click here to find out how to apply or for more information contact Tracy Jagger on 0300 365 3100.
