Scholarships

The Lords Feoffees offer scholarship grants to selected students from Bridlington.  Over decades, hundreds of promising individuals have benefitted from the Lords Feoffees’ support with their studies.

The scholarships, which are awarded for a maximum of £1,200 per year, are to be used towards the costs associated with studying.

You can apply for a scholarship if you are undertaking degree level education at university or college and you normally reside in Bridlington.

Applicants are considered on the basis of academic ability, commitment to work and financial need obtained from the candidate’s application form and at interview.

If you are successful in being awarded a scholarship you will be expected to send written correspondence to the Clerk to the Lords Feoffees, a minimum of 3 times per year, detailing how the funds have been spent and how you are progressing with your studies.  Each year you will also be required to provide proof of your student status and official academic results.

“I am training to become a secondary school drama teacher with Yorkshire Wolds Teacher Training. The course itself is intense and requires me to be on placement for the whole year and to attend training sessions near Hull every week. Having the scholarship has taken away the worries of being able to afford all of the travel costs. It has also allowed me to invest in a new laptop, meaning I can be productive and do work on the go for which I am extremely grateful. I feel very proud to have received the scholarship as I have seen the positive impact the Lords Feoffees have had on the community. The scholarship is a fabulous opportunity, especially for students who may feel worried about the costs of higher education.”  Lottie Grey, March 2025 

“I am an aspiring journalist studying Multimedia Sports Journalism at the University College of Football Business – Manchester Campus. As part of my studies, there are lots of practical opportunities to report on football games around the country. With these comes large transport costs, which the Lords Feoffees scholarship helps tremendously in contributing towards. Moreover, the financial strain of being a student is only getting worse, which is why I am so grateful for the Lords Feoffees scholarship, and could not recommend it enough to university students in Bridlington.”  Ben Edwards, April 2025

“As a first year business management student at the University of Leeds, the troubling economic times we all live in couldn’t be any more apparent. That is why I feel so fortunate to be a recipient of a scholarship from the Lord Feoffees. The bursary not only allows me to invest in the resources I need to complete my course but has also helped to remove the financial burdens placed on students, truly allowing me to focus on all aspects of university life. Having grown up in Bridlington, I feel proud to know that I have the backing of the Lord Feoffees given they are such an active group within the local community. If you are considering higher education then I would strongly advise that you apply for the scholarship and achieve your potential.” William Chadwick, April 2023
