SCHOOLS & YOUNG PEOPLE

Bursaries

As a charity, we know that some people find it difficult to afford to participate in activities. The purpose of the bursary scheme is to ensure that young people from many different backgrounds are able to visit sites and memorials that are part of all our histories.

Who is eligible?

The bursaries are currently limited to school applications only. Bursaries are offered on the basis of the number of students receiving free school meals who would be travelling on the tour and are not restricted to any particular age or year group.

How much will The Royal British Legion contribute to my tour?

Our bursaries will meet up to two-thirds of the cost for those students on free school meals. The bursary is limited to fund up to two days of a tour. Exceptions will be made for three days on those tours that would normally be done in two days but an additional day's coach travel is required due to the school's position in the UK.

How can I apply on behalf of my group?

You must apply for, and complete, the bursary application pack via the Poppy Travel office. A bursary panel meets three times a year, once each term, to assess applications against the criteria. Your application will be assessed by the panel at the next meeting following receipt of your application.

What else should I know?

The bursary is limited to certain financial conditions and to certain tours only. Please read the criteria in the application pack for further information before completing the application form.

Bursaries are awarded to the school going on the tour, not to individual students.

The Royal British Legion provides a defined budget for bursaries each year. Once the budget has been spent, schools will be informed and encouraged to apply for the following year.

Schools will be required to complet evaluation forms about the trip as a condition of receiving the bursary.

The Royal British Legion reserves the right to refuse or turn down any application for a bursary.
