The RIBA welcomes applications for the 2009/10 RIBA Walter Parker Bursary from Stage 1 Professional Experience Students experiencing financial hardship. 

The RIBA recognises that during a period of economic recession it can be hard for Part 1 Students to find professional experience and prepare for the next stage of their studies. Entering the workplace incurs its own costs, for example, relocation or up-front travel costs, which can be difficult to subsidise when paid in arrears, or with very low salaries. The purpose of the RIBA Walter Parker Bursary is to help those students in employment who are experiencing high levels of hardship and require help to meet the cost of some of their expenses. 

In order to be eligible for the grant, students must have normally completed an RIBA-validated Part 1 course of Architecture in the UK and be on a Stage 1 Professional Experience placement in or outside the UK. (Please refer to the application form for further details on the eligibility criteria.)

In 2009/10 academic session 40 individual bursaries of up to £500 will be available.

 

Please note that the RIBA Walter Parker Bursary accepts applications from Stage 1 Professional Experience students only. If you are currently enrolled on an RIBA-validated Part 1 or Part 2 course of Architecture in the UK and suffering from financial hardship, please go to the RIBA Education Fund| page of this website.
