The Reading Internship Scheme Living Cost Bursary is for undergraduates who have secured a 4 – 6 week, unpaid internship, which is not counting towards their degree programme.
The living cost bursary is in place to support students with doing what they love. Lots of students undertake unpaid internships to gain work experience and this bursary is here to support you with this. The bursary supports you with living costs, so is not a salary.
For a 6-week unpaid internship you would receive a £1,000 bursary, for 4 or 5 weeks we would work this out at £166.66 per week. If you would like to apply for the bursary, please read the criteria below and then complete the application on My Jobs Online.
