The Leverhulme Trade Charities Trust (LTCT), which provides financial aid for the families of those working in the convenience sector, has officially opened undergraduate bursary applications until 1 October 2026. Undergraduate study can place significant pressure on families, particularly when students are balancing education with part-time work, travel costs, accommodation and study materials. Professor Anna Vignoles CBE FBA, Director of the Leverhulme Trade Charities Trust, said: “Opportunity should be shared, not saved for the lucky few. The undergraduate scheme is currently open for those keen to undertake university study and closes on 1 October 2026.
