Bursary Programme
Students seeking financial aid may apply for a bursary award at Immerse Education, which could result in a maximum 100% reduction in programme fees.
We receive a huge number of applications for financial aid each year, therefore only a small percentage of students are successful. Two categories of bursary are available, the first for students aged 13-15 and the second for students aged 16-18.
Eligibility Requirements
Bursary applicants must be:
- Aged between 13-18 at the commencement of the selected programme session.
- Available to attend the academic sessions Online, in Cambridge, Oxford, London, Sydney, Toronto, New York or San Francisco in 2025.
- Eligible to live and study in the UK for the duration of the programme.
- Attending a non-fee paying school (or attending a fee-paying school whilst receiving a scholarship/grant/bursary/financial assistance).
Applications are welcomed from students of all nationalities.
