Startup Higher Access Bursary 2025

We know the Startup Higher community is full of talented individuals all making a contribution in using the tools of entrepreneurship for good.  That’s why it matters to us that we are constantly inclusive and open to new voices joining our unconference that this year is happening 14-16th May at Loughborough University London.  To support this ambition with the help of collaborators like Startium we have created an Access Bursary so that cost is not a barrier in bringing new voices and opinions into our space.

What does the Bursary offer?

We are offering:

  • A free ticket to the Startup Higher Unconference

  • An up to £200 bursary to support travel/accommodation 

To be eligible for the Bursary you need to be:

  • A 1st Time attendee to Startup Higher

  • Be able to commit/have your organisation commit to pay your travel to attend

You may also need to fit one or more of the following criteria:

  • Have recently been made redundant

  • Be at risk of being made redundant

  • Be at an organisation that has frozen spend on CPD

  • You are freelance or on a short term contract where CPD is not supported

The deadline to apply for the Bursary is 31st March 2025.  

You can apply via this form.


We will announce those who will be receiving the bursary on 14th April 2025.  Startup Higher’s decision will be final.
