Anthony Walker bursary scheme - funding and development opportunity!

Are you a law student from a Black, Asian or minority ethnic background? You could be eligible for up to £5,000 towards your law degree or legal qualifications - plus work experience and development opportunities, and invaluable mentorship from the National Black Crown Prosecution Association.
Anthony Walker bursary is a collaboration between the Anthony Walker Foundation, National Black Crown Prosecution Association and Crown Prosecution Service. It aims to continue to increase diversity within the Crown Prosecution Service by inspiring and supporting students of minority backgrounds into a rewarding career as a prosecutor. You can hear more from our bursary recipients here.
We are offering five undergraduate and five postgraduate bursaries for law students from a Black, Asian or minority ethnic background studying at a university in the North West or Merseyside region.
As an undergraduate bursary recipient, you are awarded £5,000 for the second year of your degree. As a postgraduate recipient, you are sponsored for the first year of your Bar Practice Course, Legal Practice Course or Solicitors Qualifying Examination.
As well as financial support, you're assigned a local area mentor and a National Black Crown Prosecution Association representative mentor to guide and support. They will also arrange for you to shadow lawyers at court and attend Crown Prosecution Service related events. As part of your support package, you're guided on routes into the Crown Prosecution Service such as our legal trainee scheme. And you have the opportunity to have personal development sessions as part of our learning and development offer.
Applications are open until 11 November 2024. Find out more here.
