We are introducing the Bursary to celebrate members who have provided significant contribution to the region and our members. This fund will help support the Wine GB members to expand their knowledge through part funding of training courses.

The fund will be supported by M&N fees, with an annual maximum fund level of £500 (subject to change)
Limits - To ensure sustainability, we are limiting awards to a single payment per application, with a set number of grants available each year (for example, two awards of £250 each)
Availability
Two grants are awarded per calendar year.
Application
Application Process: The grant is open to all members via a simple application form detailing the applicant, the purpose of the request, and the amount required. Please see the drafted form attached Bursary Application Form.
Visibility: To honour the legacy of our members, a list of grant recipients and their training focus will be featured on our website.
