Liverpool Education Grants Charitable Trust holds some historic funds which in some years are available to give prize bursaries to some pupils who are leaving schools in Liverpool to study at university. In 2024 they can offer a total of four bursaries with a maximum value of £200 per bursary. The bursaries can be given either to pupils who will be studying history, music, or modern languages at university or to pupils who during their time at secondary school have engaged successfully in activities such as community service, supporting other pupils, and public debating and speaking.

Headteachers are invited to nominate one or more pupils who meet these criteria. The nomination should give the pupil’s name (although at this stage first name without surname is acceptable) and should say at which university the pupil hopes to study. The headteacher should explain briefly why the nomination is being made. In deciding which bursaries to award the assessors will take notice of evidence of academic commitment for the awards linked to subjects to be studied, or any similarly appropriate information which can be provided for the community activity awards. Evidence of financial hardship may be mentioned but is not essential.

Nominations should be sent by email to jenny@liverpoollearningpartnership.com to arrive no later than 5pm on 18th July 2024.
