The UKELA Vocational Bursary Fund is open for applications – and is intended to enable student members who otherwise may not be able to undertake a period of vocational placement (such as an internship or externship) in the field of environmental law.

Placements may be with a public body (e.g. a government department, local authority, regulatory agency), with a non-for-profit organisation such as a non-governmental organisation, with a university department, in private practice (legal or otherwise), or any other vocational placement which would further the charitable objects of UKELA.

More information, including how previous recipients found the bursary useful can be found in the students section on the website. Applications must be received by Midday on Monday 19 May 2025, with a decision announced shortly after 2 June 2025.
