The UKAEA Fusion Sector Access Bursaries fund UK universities to award bursaries to home students undertaking Master’s-level fusion training. The bursaries support living expenses and aim to widen participation by helping under-represented groups overcome financial and perceived barriers. Eligible courses must have at least 40 fusion-specific credits. Up to four universities can each award four bursaries of £10,000 for the 2027-2028 academic year.
Eligible applicants are UK-based universities hosting Master’s courses with at least 40 fusion-specific credits. Students must be UK home students meeting widening participation criteria such as disability, ethnic minority status, or being first in family to attend higher education.
