Postal Family Fund

Postal Family Fund is now accepting applications for University Bursaries

Our popular University Bursary has now launched. Postal families can apply for a bursary to support a young person attending a university or equivalent institution in the UK. Bursaries are there to help students cover their expenses so they can concentrate on their studies. Bursaries are worth £2,100 per year for a maximum of three years. There are additional grants available for course materials and equipment (e.g. laptop, music software) for those going to university for the first time.

This financial assistance package is very popular, but we are only able to provide a limited number of awards. So, we ask that you read the eligibility criteria before applying and that you take your time completing the application. Applications are open until July 15th.
