The Rees Jeffreys Road Fund Trustees havew announced they will be running a Transport Masters Bursary programme again for 2022-23.
The Trustees are hoping to encourage more applications to study for a transport-related Masters – both from people who are new to the transport sector and people who are currently employed in the sector who may wish to add to their professional skills or knowledge.
Bursaries are available for a wide range of transport related topics, and are aimed at students who would not be able to afford to study without the Bursary. There will be up to eight bursaries of £10,000 each awarded for the academic year starting 2022-23. The Bursaries are released in stage payments over the period of study, and are available to support study both full time and part time. Applicants must have the right to stay and work in the UK to be eligible for the scheme.
People interested in Masters study should initially speak to one of the 12 universities who run transport related Masters programmes. They are listed on the Rees Jeffreys Road Fund website here. All enquiries from potential students should be made via the university, rather than students to contacting Rees Jeffreys Road Fund directly. The deadline for universities to apply for a Bursary on behalf of students is the 4 July 2022.
Case studies of past Bursary recipients are available here.
