THE BSS BURSARY SCHEME
Bloomsbury Summer School runs a modest bursary scheme which offers UNFILLED places on its courses to ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS for ONE HUNDRED POUNDS 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 2008. (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, and the earlier
they apply, the better their chances of gaining a bursary. They need send in only a
brief statement of their wishes, putting their chosen courses, if there be more than one,
in order of priority. They may apply for as many courses as they like and apply again
every year. All they need do, after they have sent in an application, is try to keep their
diaries clear of important engagements for the relevant week(s). This should not be an
inconvenience as the process of awarding bursary places usually begins in May and
students on the bursary lists are thereafter regularly informed of developments.
There is, of course, no guarantee that a bursary place on a given course will arise at
all. Even when bursary places do become available, they sometimes do so rather
late in the day, as a consequence of illness or injury. However, there are ALWAYS
courses with a few places available on them and ALWAYS courses affected by late
withdrawals. In 2007, about fifty bursaries were applied for and about twenty awards
were made.
A THIRD CATEGORY of eligibility will be ADDED to those above in MARCH 2008.
It will comprise those students who have attended a Bloomsbury Academy Study Day
or Conference in 2003-6 or have booked a ticket for their Spring Conference in 2008.
There are currently about seven hundred people in the former category.
