Bursaries

No student should be put off applying on the grounds of cost

Our commitment

CSYO has bursaries available so that no student should be put off applying on the grounds of cost. Bursaries are not for a fixed amount: instead, you can apply for a bursary equal to a percentage of the course fees, which you specify on the application form based on your own personal circumstances. Most bursaries are for a maximum of 50% of the course fee; however this is not an absolute limit, and CSYO is happy to consider requests for a higher amount.
