The bursaries will cover the entire cost of the programme which is fully inclusive and includes accommodation, all meals, tuition and a full social and cultural programme. Students may require a small amount of their own spending money for trips. Successful bursary students are also eligible to apply for the reasonable costs of travel to and from the summer school from anywhere within the UK.
