Ashley Family Foundation Bursary
The Ashley Family Foundation bursary will be given to a new full-time student with a connection to Wales who wants to study a postgraduate course at CAT’s Graduate School of the Environment.
This dedicated bursary is funded entirely by the Ashley Family Foundation, a UK‑registered charity committed to strengthening rural communities and supporting social and environmental wellbeing across the UK, with deep roots in Wales. Worth £9,000 the bursary will support students by supporting tuition costs.
The bursary is open to applicants who:
- Are Welsh, or
- Have lived and/or studied in Wales within the last five years, and
- Are passionate about creating positive environmental and social change.
The aim is to support talented individuals who may otherwise be unable to access postgraduate education due to financial constraints.
The bursary is designed to unlock transformative opportunities for students who have the drive and potential to lead creative climate action in their communities and beyond and will help to widen participation in the environmental sector and increase representation of Welsh voices in climate action.
Bursary applications for September 2026 have been extended and will close on 10 July. Other bursaries and funding opportunities are also available to new students and are listed on our Fees and Funding page.
