Open Awards is a registered charity, and we seek to use our skills, experience and qualifications to promote learning to individuals. In 2019, we decided to change the way we offer Bursaries as we would like them to form a legacy within our providers and create real impact. In offering bursaries, we are seeking to address barriers that may prevent people from accessing or remaining within training/further education and achieving their full potential.
Our Vision is that Open Awards bursaries allow our providers to better support their learners and enable them to achieve their potential. Each year we will choose a theme and seek applications that look for ways to tackle that issue.
The theme for this year is ‘Doing Things Differently’. We are seeking to fund something that you want or are doing differently to enhance learners’ experience and achievements.
For 2025 the total amount for the bursary is up to £5000 and a maximum of 3 awards will be made. However, awards will be prioritised and it is possible that only 1 award or 2 awards will be made.
