Bursary schemes
Prospects bursary funding
HECSU, the charitable arm of Graduate Prospects, provides annual funding for a bursary scheme for the Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma and MA in Career Education, Information and Guidance in HE (CEIGHE). AGCAS uses this fund to help those AGCAS Associate and Affiliate Members who, due to lack of funding, would be unable to undertake the AGCAS/University of Warwick CEIGHE qualification. The fund is allocated and administered in the following way:
1. AGCAS course fees for the residential Challenges of Careers Work in HE course are automatically funded by the Prospects bursary for any CEIGHE Qualification Registrant with Associate or Affiliate membership of AGCAS.
The Challenges course is a core module of the qualification, so every CEIGHE registrant will benefit from this automatic bursary funding.
No formal bursary application is needed; when an eligible Challenges course application is received, AGCAS will make a place offer (places permitting) with bursary funding applied.
Please note that the assessment fees, charged by the University of Warwick for each module, are completely separate to the course fees charged by AGCAS and cannot be covered by bursary funding.
2. The remaining money each year is used to encourage new registrations on the CEIGHE qualification. Associate and Affiliate AGCAS Members who are CEIGHE registrants can apply for bursary funding to cover the AGCAS course fees for any of their qualification courses. AGCAS will consider all applications for bursary funding of course fees and may grant partial or full funding.
3. To be eligible to apply, individuals must:
• be current Associate or Affiliate Members of AGCAS and
• have registered for the Postgraduate Certificate/Diploma/MA in CEIGHE
with the University of Warwick.
4. The aim of the fund is to encourage applications from services in the following categories:
a. services who have not yet had a CEIGHE qualification registrant;
b. services who are able to part-fund, eg can cover an assessment fee
but not the course fee;
c. services who are unable to fund all the members of staff who would
want to become CEIGHE qualification registrants at the same time.
5. Bursary applications must be made on a module by module basis, on a Bursary Application Form (available below), to Jann Civil, AGCAS Administration Manager. Applications should be made as early as possible. Under no circumstances can retrospective applications be considered. For an application to be considered, it must be received by AGCAS before or at the same time as the application for the relevant course place.
6. The following conditions apply:
• if an individual obtains a bursary, a repayment could be claimed if they
fail to complete the assessment within two years;
• if an individual withdraws within six weeks of the start date of a
residential course, they may be invoiced for all or part of the course fee.
