The IHBC, as a charity, offers Bursaries for the Newcastle 2026 School, which are supported by the IHBC’s CREATIVE Conservation Fund.

As usual, these are allocated on the basis of personal statements of relevance and need. An initial closing date of 13 April may be extended if any bursaries are not allocated.

How it works:

Each bursary applicant may ask for either:

• • A bursary that includes a Residential Full School delegate place, from Thursday to Saturday, with up to £100 towards travel expenses (receipts required)

AND/OR

• • A bursary that includes a Day School delegate place and up to £100 towards travel and accommodation expenses (receipts required).

To apply please complete the Bursary Application Form. If you have any queries please email bursaries@ihbc.org.uk.

Please remember that the IHBC reserves the right NOT TO AWARD bursaries if applications do not clearly demonstrate a suitable need or benefit.

The IHBC National charity does not offer bursaries for delegates attending online. Some IHBC Branches offer bursaries and/or other support. Please contact your local Branch for information.

The IHBC’s charity bursaries are supported by the IHBC’s CREATIVE Conservation Fund.

PLEASE NOTE: Bursaries based on personal statements of relevance and need can be awarded only where a substantial case is made, including on current need and future benefits
