Bursary for New Applicants
At BAMBA, we want the Register to be accessible to everyone who is committed to safe, ethical, and inclusive mindfulness teaching. We recognise that the application fee can be a barrier, particularly for those who teach voluntarily or receive little or no payment for their work.
To support this, BAMBA offers a bursary for new applicants who are unable to meet the registration fee. As a small charity, we are only able to offer a limited number of bursary places each year.
Who this bursary is for
This bursary is for you if you:
- Teach in a voluntary capacity, or
- Are experiencing financial circumstances that make the application fee difficult to meet.
What's involved
You’ll be asked to complete a short application form covering:
- Your training and supervision details
- Evidence of your voluntary work
- Confirmation that you meet BAMBA’s Professional Standards and will practise in line with the GPGs for the next 12 months
- Details of a referee who can verify your information (please note: BAMBA is obliged to contact them)
Conditions
If your circumstances change and you no longer meet the Register conditions within the first 12 months, BAMBA may request that the bursary be repaid.
Apply
If you feel this support would help make registration possible, we warmly invite you to submit an application.
Are you ready to join the Register? Apply today.
BAMBA’s activities are only made possible through membership and voluntary support.
Should you wish to donate, your donation will be used to continue the maintenance of standards and inclusive access to mindfulness-based training in the UK.
We are grateful for your contribution to this vital work.
