CollabGroup is pleased to inform you of the launch of the 2021 Peter Roberts 3rd Annual Bursary, an award for outstanding achievement for a student from a Collab Group College supported by the Skills Network.  This year they are making available two bursaries of £2,500 each to support two students from the end of their college education into self-employment or higher education. 

 

Honouring Peter Roberts

Peter was an outstanding Principal of Stockport College and Leeds City College as well as a former Chair of 157 Group (Collab Group).  Known throughout the further education sector as a warm, humorous and dedicated professional totally committed to the success of his students.  The sector was deeply saddened at his untimely death only weeks after his retirement.  As a long-standing partner, The Skills Network wanted to recognise Peter’s unique contribution to the sector and its esteem and affection for a friend and erstwhile colleague by supporting an annual award to a great student who reflects the outstanding work of the sector.

 

Who might be eligible?

Any student who is undertaking a course of study in a Collab Group college who either:
has an offer to go to a university or other higher education institute to study for a technical or professional education qualification; or is looking to establish their own small business.
