The RIBA Education Fund welcomes applications from students of architecture suffering financial hardship. To be eligible for a grant, students must have been UK residents for a minimum period of 3 years before the commencement of their architectural studies and be enrolled in a RIBA-validated Part 1 or Part 2 course of architecture in the UK. If you are a Stage 1 Professional Experience student experiencing financial hardship, please go to the RIBA Walter Parker Bursary| page of this website.

Since 31 January 2010 Part 1 and Part 2 students experiencing financial hardship can also make applications for maintenance grants to the RIBA Walter Parker Bursary. Hence, since 31 January all RIBA Education Fund applications made by Part 1 and Part 2 students are automatically considered for a grant from the RIBA Walter Parker Bursary.

Part 1 and Part 2 students can receive only one grant per academic year – either from the RIBA Education Fund or from the RIBA Walter Parker Bursary. If you are a Part 1 or Part 2 student and you have applied to the RIBA Education Fund in 2009/10 session prior to 31 January 2010, please do not re-apply to the RIBA Walter Parker Bursary in 2009/10.

Applications are accepted throughout the academic year and should be submitted to the RIBA Education department for consideration. If you would like to apply please download and return an application form along with supporting documents:
