Festival Student Bursaries        

Students talking   

Application deadline is now closed

Universities, companies and institutions can give students the opportunity to be part of this exciting Festival by purchasing either one or a number of the British Science Association's student bursary packages, for the price of £350 each.

The British Science Festival provides an excellent opportunity for students to immerse themselves in current debate, and meet leading scientists and speakers. It also gives them the chance to engage in a wide range of science topics highlighted at a variety of events throughout the week. Not only this, but the Festival is a hot spot for media attention and a vibrant social scene, whatever your age or background.

All of the events featured are tailored for non-specialists, as are the debates, exhibitions and social events which form such an important part of the experience.

The opportunity to attend the Festival is one that should not be missed, and by being awarded a British Science Festival bursary, students can experience the event to the full, as the package we provide caters for their every need.
