Cancellations
A scale of cancellation charges will apply for summer course bookings, so you are strongly advised to take out suitable insurance cover. Refunds will be given in strict accordance with the following scale, LESS the £100 booking fee per course:
Six weeks notice: 100 %
Three weeks but less than six weeks: 50 %
Under three weeks: No refund
BSS Bursary Scheme
Bloomsbury Summer School runs a modest bursary scheme, which offers unfilled places on its courses to eligible applicants for £250, £80 less than the advertised price. There are two categories of such applicants: former students who have already taken at least one course with BSS and newcomers enrolling for their first one in 2012 (the latter are only eligible for a bursary on an additional course).
Eligible students who wish to join the scheme are welcome to do so. You need only email or send in a brief statement of your wishes, putting your chosen courses in order of preference. You may apply for as many courses as you like and apply again every year. All you need do, after you have sent in an application, is try to keep your diary clear of important engagements for the relevant week(s). The process of awarding bursary places usually begins in May.
There is, of course, no guarantee that a bursary place on a given course will arise at all, and even when bursary places do become available, they sometimes do so rather late in the day, as a consequence of last minute student cancellation. However, there are usually courses with a few places available on them and often courses are affected by late withdrawals.
