Verification Form

Please note:

  • When completing the online application form applicants will be asked to write a short statement (150 words) to demonstrate how they would benefit from being awarded a BDIAP bursary. 
  • Your referee will only receive email notification to submit the verification document once a bursary application has been submitted.
  • The verification document must be submitted directly by your referee. 
  • Only completed applications will be considered. Applications are considered complete once the application form has been submitted and a supporting verification document has been received.  
  • Applicants should not register for the meeting until they hear the outcome of their bursary application. If you are applying for a bursary and have already registered, please inform Louisa Coulthurst.
