Undergraduate Research Bursaries in science

Undergraduate Research Bursaries are changing for 2012. We will not be running the scheme as previously, and instead we are working with other organisations who provide similar opportunities and will provide matched funding for some of these in 2012 and 2013. More information on the background to this change is available on the Undergraduate Research Bursaries page. 

How to apply

The application process is now different for different subject areas. The Foundation will administer bursaries in physics, chemistry, and mathematics, but other subject areas will be administered by our partner organisations.
