ATAS Bursary Fund
The ATAS Bursary Fund supports student-focused financial assistance and enables us to develop bursary opportunities with universities, supporters and our wider community.
About the Fund
The ATAS Bursary Fund forms part of our wider commitment to supporting students through their academic journeys in Scotland.
The fund brings together ATAS fundraising, community donations and contributions from supporters to help us develop practical forms of financial support for eligible students.
We also work with university partners to establish structured award opportunities, allowing bursary support to be delivered through clear eligibility and application arrangements.
