Since 2013 a Bursary Scheme to help young people from lower income families in Norfolk to study engineering at one of three Norfolk colleges has been available through the Sheringham Shoal Community Fund.
In 2019 funding will once again be available for 20 students to each receive a bursary of £500 per annum to study the BTEC Diploma in Engineering level 3 (or equivalent) through to graduation. In addition to the College of West Anglia in Kings Lynn, East Coast College in Great Yarmouth and City College in Norwich, students studying at UTCN (University Technical College Norfolk) in Norwich for this qualification will also be eligible for a bursary.
