ASET Development Bursaries



ASET Development Bursaries

At the inaugural Leadership Exchange event #ASETLeads in May 2019, two new bursaries were launched to support staff at ASET member institutions.  ASET Development Bursaries are small bursaries intended to provide opportunities for learning from experience which are inclusive, and widen access to people whom might otherwise face financial barriers to engaging in opportunities to progress their careers and develop their professional networks.

  1. Event Support Bursary (up to £150)
    To support staff wishing to attend an ASET conference or staff development workshop. This bursary is for delegates who incur additional costs for attending due to requirements for childcare, social care, or other matters related to a protected characteristic such as a disability.  We encourage members to apply should they require additional support in order to attend online staff development events. The bursary is not to be used to offset normal costs paid by delegates’ employers (delegate fees or travel expenses). To apply for this bursary download Event Support Bursary application form and email to ASET Office.
  2. Work Shadowing Bursary (up to £150)
    For staff wishing to spend a day work shadowing another individual from an ASET member institution. The bursary is to pay for travel costs, with a requirement to submit a 400 word reflection on the learning which may be published in the ASET e-Bulletin. Recipients will also be invited to submit a Poster for the ASET Conference. To apply for this bursary download Work Shadowing Bursary application form and email to ASET Office.

How to apply
Applications for bursaries are to be made using the relevant application form. Claims will be limited to one claim per trip and two claims per person per academic year, and will be paid directly to the claimant. All applications will be assessed by a panel consisting of no fewer than 2 individuals made up from the salaried staff and ASET Executive. Applications for either bursary will be accepted on a rolling basis until the available money is used up.
