Recent graduates from low income families can now benefit from a bursary award offered by youth and education charity Raleigh in partnership with the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS). The scheme gives recent graduates the opportunity to enhance their employability skills through community and environmental work in remote communities overseas.
The Raleigh Graduate Bursary Award for Volunteering Overseas was launched on 30 July 2009 and will see 500 graduates offered places on a Raleigh expedition to Costa Rica and Nicaragua, Borneo or India over the next year. Each graduate will take part in a ten-week training and development programme, which challenges participants physically and mentally, and teaches them to work alongside others from different countries and socio-economic backgrounds to learn the value of volunteering.
The bursary is open to recent graduates aged 24 or under who can prove that an overseas expedition would be beyond their financial means without assistance.
For more information about the scheme, visit the Raleigh website
