Bursary Fund

What is the Bursary Fund?

The Marsh Farm Bursary Fund is for people who live in the Marsh Farm New Deal for Communities area of Luton.

Residents may be eligible for a bursary award to help with e.g. work-related training, education, or expenses with a job etc. It must be clear how bursary assistance will lead to better employment prospects.

Its aim is to support people wishing to:

• find work or increase their chances of employment
• improve the job they have or enhance their career development

‘I just wanted to let you know that I got that job I went for and am (as of Sept 1st) the new Anti-bullying Co-ordinator for Bedford Borough Council! I could not have done it without the support of the bursary fund which enabled me to pursue my qualification and build my confidence. Two years ago I wouldn't have thought about applying for a job like that.’
