Why is there a Cassiltoun Trust Community Bursary? 

The Cassiltoun Trust developed the Community Bursary to directly invest in local people for 10 years to support them to reach their educational aspirations. It launched as a part of the Trust’s 10^th anniversary celebrations. In 2024 we will offer bursaries of £500 to two local people accessing higher or further education.

What is a bursary? 

The bursary is a one off sum that you are not expected to pay back.  In return we do ask that the successful applicant meets with a staff member of the Cassiltoun Group to hear about the range of ways to get involved and to discuss the opportunities to do so.

What can the bursary be used for? 

We expect the bursary to be used to support you to complete an educational course. Examples of costs could include; a laptop, textbooks, stationery, bus pass, course resources, childcare etc.  

Who can apply?

·       You must not have received the Cassiltoun Trust Community Bursary in the past

·       You must be a current resident of the G45 area in Glasgow and have been accepted in to higher or further education, for example college or university degrees

·       You must be 16 or over

·       You must not be an immediate relative of anyone who is employed by the Cassiltoun Group (by ‘immediate relative’ we mean, parent, spouse, child, or sibling)
