General Bursaries

General bursaries cover more than one field of study, and some fund any accredited qualification. This list includes large corporate programmes, foundations and community trusts linked to wind and solar farms, which often fund local students in any field.

Community trust bursaries are worth a close look: they are usually limited to people living near a specific project, so fewer people apply.
