Bowls England announces review of bursaries. Please be aware that no applications for bursaries will be accepted at this time. (12th December 2024)
Volunteers are the lifeblood of our sport. In support of this we offer a range of bursaries to help club volunteers looking to develop their skills in coaching, greens maintenance, safeguarding and umpiring. We are undertaking a review of all bursaries to ensure that this funding has the maximum impact on our sport in future. We advise that no applications will be supported until the review has been completed.
The Bowls England Umpire Bursary helps members of affiliated clubs to obtain an English Bowls Umpiring Association (EBUA) qualification.
All successful applicants will be reimbursed up to £100 to assist with the cost of the course and necessary equipment.
Payment will only be made when an applicant has successfully completed their course and have completed this form along with providing copies of invoice, relevant certificates and receipt/s for the equipment/uniform.
Please note that due to expected demand, claims will be processed on a first come, first served basis. Any claim must be made within six months of the qualification date on the certificate.
The decision of the Bowls England awarding panel on all applications will be final and no correspondence will be entered into.
Umpire bursaries are not currently being accepted. Please see note at the top of the page.
