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 graduate recruitment team.
