Bursaries for young people

Bursary Group July 2007

Who can apply for a bursary award?

The Council offers financial support of up to £500 for residents in South Oxfordshire under the age of 25 who have demonstrated a talent in the field of sport or the arts. It also offers assistance for those taking part in official expeditions.

For sports bursaries the applicant should have reached at least county level in their sport and for arts bursaries the applicant must be able to demonstrate a high level of commitment and skill in their chosen art form. Arts include music, dance, drama, creative writing, painting, sculpture, photography, video production, multi-media and crafts.

Bursary award application deadlines

Unfortunately, the bursary scheme is currently closed to new applicants due to the high volume of awards earlier in the year.

A review of the bursary scheme is currently underway, if you have previously received a bursary award you may receive a questionnaire, we would appreciate your response to the questionnaire to help to inform our review.

Further details about how the review is progressing will be posted on the website as they become available.
