PARS Financial Support

We want PARS to be accessible to all completed apprentices and we know that times are tough. So we are delighted to be working with partners to provide financial support to those who need it most. We’re doing this by providing bursaries – if you are eligible, you will be given a code that provides a 100% discount on the application fee. 

The bursaries that are currently on offer are listed below – check the eligibility criteria to see if you can benefit. If you aren’t eligible for these bursaries, keep checking back as we’re hoping to add more soon!
