Chancerygate Foundation Bursary
If you are an undergraduate student with an offer to study BSc (Hons) Building Surveying, BSc (Hons) Real Estate Management or BSc (Hons) Quantity Surveying, you could be eligible for the Chancerygate Foundation Bursary.
What is the Chancerygate Foundation Bursary?
The Chancerygate Foundation Bursary is a grant for an undergraduate student studying BSc (Hons) Building Surveying, BSc (Hons) Real Estate Management or BSc (Hons) Quantity Surveying. This bursary is intended to support and encourage diversity within the field.
The grant is worth up to £10,000 per year for each year of study. This fund is intended to cover the essential costs of living and studying, such as accommodation, books and equipment. You cannot use the Chancerygate Foundation Bursary towards teaching fees.
In addition to the financial bursary, the recipient will be given the opportunity to undertake career opportunities, such as internships and work placements. They will also be required to keep the Chancerygate Foundation up to date with their academic progression throughout their course. The recipient can work in partnership with Kingston University staff to maintain this communication.
