Herefordshire Education Fund

The Herefordshire Education Fund offers funding support to prepare school leavers for the workplace. The Fund also provides bursaries for students in further or higher education.

Preference is given to young people under the age of 25, but applications are also considered from older applicants who come to education late, or who are reskilling after a life or job change.
