A bursary fund has been established in memory of two much loved children, Gabriel and Ariel, who died before birth. The purpose of the fund is to assist students to study at the School of the Annunciation.  

Applications are invited from candidates for either of these courses. The Gabriel and Ariel Bursary Fund will pay half fees for two of the courses at the School of the Annunciation offered in 2014 and further courses from 2015 onwards.

An application form for the award can be downloaded here. Alternatively, it may be obtained from Sr Crucis, the Office Manager – [email protected] or 01364 645660. 

Prospective applicants are advised to read the notes below concerning eligibility before making an application.

Notes on eligibility

(a)          Bursaries will be awarded to individuals who otherwise would not be able to afford the course fees.

(b)          Receipt of any bursary money implies that recipients will, participate fully in the residential weeks, self study activities and associated activities of the course.  For the diploma, award of a bursary for the second year is dependent on the successful and full completion of the first year.

(c)          We rely on the integrity of the individual asking for financial assistance.  Should an individual’s financial circumstances change meaning that the bursary amount is no longer required this should be declared to the school so that the bursary funding to them can be adjusted accordingly.

(d)          Due to the very limited amount of funds available, no support can be given towards maintenance costs, just help towards fees.

(e)          Applicants must be in full communion with the Catholic Church.

(f)          Bursary applications need to be submitted together with a course application form or after applying for a course. Bursary applications will not be considered unless a course application has been received.
