The RIBA offers a number of bursaries that help support students experiencing financial hardship who otherwise may not continue with their architectural studies.
RIBA Part 1 & Part 2 Bursaries
RIBA Part 1 Bursary
To be eligible to apply for a RIBA Part 1 Bursary, students must be enrolled in the first year of an RIBA Part 1 course in the UK. Recipients of these bursaries will receive a maximum of £6,000 distributed in £1,000 termly instalments throughout the second and third years of study. Successful part-time applicants will receive the same maximum amount in payments proportionate to the length of studies.
RIBA Part 2 Bursary

Recipients of these bursaries will receive a maximum of £6,000 distributed in £1,000 termly instalments throughout the course of the Part 2. Successful part-time applicants will receive the same maximum amount in payments proportionate to the length of studies.
RIBA Student Hardship Funds
The RIBA Student Support Fund is a funding scheme for architecture students enrolled in RIBA Part 1 and 2 courses in the UK who would benefit from financial support. Eligible applicants can apply for a maximum of £3,000 to support themselves.
This fund runs twice per academic year, in the Autumn term and the Spring term.
