A Bridlington-based charity has put out an appeal for local students to apply for grants to help support with their studies.
The Lords Feoffees offer scholarship grants to selected students from Bridlington. Over decades, hundreds of promising individuals have benefitted from the Lords Feoffees’ support with their studies.
The scholarships, which are awarded for a maximum of £1,200 per year, are to be used towards the costs associated with studying.
Bridlington residents can apply for a scholarship if they are undertaking degree level education at university or college.
Applicants are considered on the basis of academic ability, commitment to work and financial need. The selection process consists of an application form and interview.
Students successful in being awarded a scholarship are expected to send written correspondence to the Lords Feoffees, a minimum of 3 times per year, detailing how the funds have been spent and how they are progressing with their studies. Each year they are also required to provide proof of their student status and official academic results.
Applications for the 2026-27 academic year are now open. Application forms are available from lordsfeoffees.co.uk/scholarships or from the Lords Feoffees’ office. The deadline for completed applications is Friday 24 July 2026.
Bethany Dunn was awarded a 3 year scholarship in 2025 for studying Social Work at the University of Hull. She said: “I am a Social Work student at the University of Hull, living in Bridlington and commuting to Hull three times a week. I am studying to be a children’s & families social worker within our local community. My course currently involves three days on campus for lectures, however soon I will be heading out on placement, to apply my knowledge and skills into practice! Receiving the scholarship has eased the financial pressure of juggling a part time job alongside my university studies. With the cost of living, fuel prices and the financial demand of studying & commuting, I am so grateful to have the support from the Lords Feoffees. The scholarship program is such a privilege to a part of and an amazing opportunity for young adults in Bridlington. I would recommend this to anyone who is going to study higher education.”
Ben Edwards was awarded a 3 year scholarship in 2024 for studying a BA (Hons) Multimedia Sports Journalism at UCFB Manchester.
He expanded: “I am an aspiring journalist studying Multimedia Sports Journalism at the University College of Football Business – Manchester Campus. As part of my studies, there are lots of practical opportunities to report on football games around the country. With these comes large transport costs, which the Lords Feoffees scholarship helps tremendously in contributing towards. Moreover, the financial strain of being a student is only getting worse, which is why I am so grateful for the Lords Feoffees scholarship, and could not recommend it enough to university students in Bridlington.”
