Following the success of last year, Titanic Belfast is renewing the School Transport Bursary to support schools visiting the attraction in the 2024/25 academic year.
This pilot scheme will be funded through our Community Impact Fund, formed as part of our Sustainable Charter.
We recognise that the rising cost of transport is a barrier for many schools who want to bring their pupils to Titanic Belfast for an educational experience and we would like to help.
The new bursary will support 15 schools by covering the costs of their transport to and from Titanic Belfast for their school trip.
To be eligible for the bursary, schools must meet the following criteria:
- School is located within a 30-mile radius of Titanic Belfast
- Pupils are studying Titanic as a topic in school
- >50% of students at the school are in receipt of Free School Meals (FSM)
- >50% of pupils living in the most deprived areas
- Be available to bring their class between November 2024 and March 2025.
To apply for the bursary, please submit an application form below:
Closing date for applications is 22nd September 2024.
Subject to demand, applicants who meet the criteria will be entered into a lottery system and those selected will be awarded the bursary.
