The Cleaning & Hygiene Suppliers Association’s (CHSA) 2025 Bursary is now open for applications.
Four bursaries will be awarded in September this year, following a tough selection process. The four successful applicants will each receive £6,000 during their university career. They will receive £2,000 at the start of each academic year or the first three years if the degree is longer.
Attending university is financially challenging for many your people, and the Bursary will help them engage fully in their time at university. They can use the funds for books and study materials, field trips, club memberships and taking part in the full range of social opportunities.
David Garcia, Vice President of the CHSA, explained: “We are extremely proud of our Bursary. Life is challenging for young people, particularly for those with the ability to attend university but not necessarily the financial resources. Our Bursary can be crucial. It can make the difference between simply surviving at university and being able to make the most of the wonderful opportunities on offer.”
The CHSA Undergraduate Bursary is open only to the children of employees of CHSA members. Applicants must be 18 years or over on 1 September 2025 and commencing their higher education studies this autumn. They will be assessed according to need, worthiness, endeavour and overall performance. Each successful applicant will also bring something unique, their ‘x-factor’.
Eligible young people need to visit the CHSA website and click on the link on the Bursary page. The form includes a 400-word statement.
The closing date for applications is Friday 27 June 2025. Shortlisted applicants need to be available to meet the judging panel, to be led by CHSA Vice President David Garcia, in July 2025. The winners will be announced in early September.
