Funding Your Course

The HDS bursary scheme

Students on the Therapeutic Work with Children and Young People (TWCYP) course can apply for a bursary. If granted, it will be a small contribution towards tuition fees and will not cover the full amount of any module fee. Discounts may be available if you take the full 3 modules in one year.

Eligible students are those who are already studying on the course or have accepted an offer of a place.

To apply, please email courses@hds.scot with ‘Bursary Application’ in the subject line of your message. A member of the Academic Administration team will send you an application form to complete.
