The Raleigh Bursary Award offers 17-24 year olds the chance to take part in a life-changing expedition to Borneo, India or Costa Rica & Nicaragua. The expeditions are a challenging, but extremely rewarding combination of community, environmental and adventure projects. It’s a fantastic opportunity for you to gain valuable key soft skills that are vital for the workplace, as well as contributing to sustainable and worthwhile projects.
At Raleigh we recognise that not everyone’s personal situation is the same, so we work hard to be able to offer bursaries to young people who, due to their situation, would find the full fundraising target a challenge too far and would therefore not be able to be part in an expedition. Our bursaries are worth up to £1,000 off the cost of an expedition. For more information about the Raleigh Bursary Award and the eligibility criteria please visit our website: www.raleighinternational.org/our-expeditions/aged-17-24/how-much-will-it-cost/raleigh-bursary-award Continue reading
