Macfarlanes is committed to removing financial barriers that can hinder students from accessing the legal profession. The Macfarlanes Bursary is a financial support package open to socially-mobile undergraduates attending any UK university.
We have designed the bursary to account for the financial demands of being a university student and prospective Trainee Solicitor.
We have designed our application forms so that they are as straightforward as possible. We encourage you to include as much information as you can, so that we can understand your needs. If you need advice at any stage of your application, please contact our Early Careers team.
Technology Grant
What?
The Technology Grant is available to those who need support accessing technology. We will consider all reasonable requests for any form of technology, whether that is a laptop, a WiFi connection or any other devices or accessories. We may award a sum which covers all or part of the purchase, depending on the request.
Who?
Any person currently enrolled, or with a place confirmed, on an undergraduate course at any UK university.
How?
To apply, please complete the application form. You will be asked to outline what your technology needs are and how access to this technology will support your journey towards a career in law.

The Accommodation Grant is a fixed payment to cover some or all of the cost of accommodation in London, so that students who live outside London are still able to access our First Year Insight Scheme and Vacation Scheme.

Eligible participants will be contacted directly by our Early Careers team.
