The Leverhulme Trade Charities Trust Undergraduate Bursary

The Leverhulme Trade Charities Trust was established in 1925, by the Will of William Hesketh Lever, who left a share of his wealth to provide grants for the benefits of pharmacists, grocers and commercial travellers, and for their families.

Undergraduate bursaries are designed to provide support to UK students in financial need, whose parent or spouse is a commercial traveller, pharmacist or grocer, and who are registered on a full-time undergraduate degree course at a recognised UK university. 

Please see Undergraduate bursary scheme for more details.
