Dorset: Apply now for Superior’s STEM Bursary 

Superior, a leading manufacturer based in Dorset, is offering – in partnership with Dorset Community Foundation – two bursary funds worth up to £1,500 to support disadvantaged young people aged 14-21 on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) courses at either Bournemouth and Poole College or Brockenhurst College. Applicants must live in Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch, Wimborne or surrounding areas.

Grants can be used only to support educational or training needs in the form of contributions to course fees, equipment fees, travel costs, any special clothing required, books, learning equipment or IT hardware and software.

Applications close at noon on Friday September 30.

This is the second year in a row that Superior has run the STEM Bursary Fund. One student last year, commented: “The grant made a huge difference as I would have struggled to afford a decent computer to enable me to do all the things that my course requires.”

Tim Brown, managing director at Superior, said: “We are committed to investing in the future skills base in order to ensure the sustainability of the company.”
