We received another year of record volumes of university bursary applications. Firstly, we would like to say thank you for putting the time and effort into submitting your applications.
91 new students were awarded university bursary grants for the start of the academic year 2026/7. Postal Family Fund is proud to now be supporting 231 students with their university qualifications or equivalent, which is more than ever before.
We love to keep in touch and hear from our students whose studies have been supported by the Postal Family Fund. Please click here to read the stories of some of our students.
To name just a few- Niamh has just started work as a doctor; Alfie has fulfilled his ambition of becoming a small animal vet; Saffron has been awarded a funding scholarship to start her PhD researching operating systems and Phoebe is living and studying in China.
“Without this Postal Family Fund bursary, I would not have been able to pay my rent, afford my bills or pay for transport to placements.”- Niamh, foundation year doctor
“The bursary really helped me with travel and accommodation expenses for my clinical placements, which are a compulsory part of becoming a vet. Without this I would have really struggled to complete my studies.”- Alfie, vet
“The bursary gave me the freedom to say yes to opportunities that I might otherwise have thought were out of reach, including securing a place to study abroad in China this August.”- Phoebe, studying in China
We received many powerful applications this year, but sadly, we cannot fund them all. If you have not succeeded this time, we encourage you to reapply in 2027. Join our newsletter to be notified when forms open.
We would like to say a big thank you to the Civil Service Insurance Society Charity Fund and all our members for making these university bursary grants possible. If you would like to help support young people from our postal family and give them opportunities they might not otherwise have, then please consider supporting us today.
