The National Extension College (NEC) is marking its 60th anniversary this year and to celebrate, they are offering one adult learner the chance to receive up to £1,000 towards their study. Established in 1963 as a not-for-profit distance learning provider, NEC has a strong, proud heritage of widening access to education and aims to transform lives by offering access to essential qualifications that can be studied flexibly, at any time and anywhere.
The NEC 60th Birthday Bursary is being funded by NEC Trustee and former CEO Dr Ros Morpeth OBE and is intended to help one learner to get back into the workplace or to plan a change of career. The college offers a diverse range of courses, including Functional Skills in Maths and English, business courses, GCSEs and A levels.
NEC Chief Executive, Esther Chesterman, commented: “NEC believes that everybody deserves a chance to achieve their learning goals, no matter their circumstances. We support learners of all ages to do this. The recipient of the NEC 60th Birthday Bursary will gain access to education that draws on NEC’s expertise, quality course materials and dedication to our students. Our flexible online courses will provide them with the freedom to study flexibly around their life and work commitments.”
Applications for the bursary are especially welcomed from those from a lower socio-economic background for whom finance may be a barrier to study and who may otherwise miss out on educational opportunities. The closing date for applications is Friday 4th August 2023. Full details about the bursary and how to apply can be found on the NEC website.
