RIBA Part 2 Bursary
The aim of the RIBA Part 2 Bursary scheme is to provide long term financial support to Part 2 architecture students who demonstrate talent and commitment to their studies and who might struggle to cover the costs of living and course-related expenditure.
Successful applicants studying full time will receive £1,000 per term throughout the course of their Part 2 to a maximum of £6,000. Successful part time applicants will receive the same maximum amount in payments proportionate to the length of their studies.
The Bursaries have been made possible by generous donations to the RIBA from Joanna Lewinski, the Rosenberg Memorial Fund, the Goldfinger family, Donald and Nancy Notley, the Charles Peel Charitable Trust, the Shanta Foundation, the Walter Parker Trust, and Hawkins\Brown as well as donations made to the RIBA Education Fund.
Eligibility criteria
Applicants must be in the process of applying for a RIBA Part 2 course in the UK beginning in the upcoming September.
Applicants do not need to have a place confirmed at the time of applying but will need to list their first and second university choices in the application.
Proof of enrolment will be required before the bursary is paid to successful applicants.
Home and international students are eligible to apply.
Selection criteria
Applications are assessed by members of the RIBA Education Development Group using the following criteria:
- evidence of academic performance, commitment to studies, and potential contribution to the profession
- a demonstration of financial need
- a clear consideration of future professional goals and aspirations
