The Claverton Scholarship Programme (CSP) is an exciting new initiative aimed to enhance student satisfaction, belonging and boost employability skills.
As part of the CSP, Claverton Scholars are required to complete the Claverton Employability Passport. This will focus on three core areas:
Upon successful completion of the Claverton Employability Passport, Claverton Scholars will receive £1,500 in addition to their Bath Bursary.
The University is grateful to our alumni and individual donors who support these awards.
The University of Bath is a public university located in Bath, Somerset, United Kingdom. It received its Royal Charter in 1966 and can trace its roots to a technical school established in Bristol in 1856.
If you are a Bath Bursary recipient who joined the University in September 2024, you are eligible to apply for this brand new opportunity worth £1,500.
This will be paid in two £750 instalments at the start of Scholars second year and final year.
