Student Bursary Scheme opened for 2026 applications

The Berwickshire and Northumberland Marine Nature Partnership is inviting applications to our student bursary scheme for 2026. The scheme awards small grants of up to £300 for successful applications to help support dissertations undertaken by both undergraduate and post-graduate students. The prime criterion is that the geographical area covered by the dissertation must coincide, either totally or partially, with that of the Berwickshire and Northumberland Marine Nature Partnership (the River Tyne in England to Fast Castle Head in Scotland). The project would have to be on a coastal/marine topic or theme that furthers the knowledge base in the Marine Nature Partnership area.

Further details of the Scheme can be found in this flier

An application form, and details of our research priorities, can be found HERE

The closing date for applications is the 27th April 2026
