Applications for the 2025 Knutsford Millennium Bursary are now open.
The bursary offers eligible second-year university students who live in Knutsford a £715 boost to support their final year projects and dissertations.
The annual partnership between Knutsford Town Council and the Knutsford Lions has been supporting local students for more than two decades, and recognises academic merit while seeking to alleviate financial pressures.
“For 25 years the town council has been providing this annual award to support one of our students in their higher education,” said town mayor Cllr Colin Banks.
“I am greatly looking forward to seeing the applications for the 2025 award and encourage all second year university students from Knutsford to consider applying.”
Whether students need funding for research materials, travel for fieldwork, or simply a helping hand with living expenses, the bursary can make a real difference.
Past recipients have used the award to access specialist software, conduct international research and even purchase equipment for their projects.
Those interested in applying must complete the application form on the Knutsford Town Council website and submit a written statement outlining their academic aspirations and how the bursary will help them achieve these goals.
The application window is open until 14th February. For more information, visit: www.knutsfordtowncouncil.gov.uk/services/millennium-bursary
