As a charity, the Institute of Group Analysis (IGA) is keen to encourage and support people from a wide range of backgrounds to undertake training in group analysis.
We have a number of bursary funds, often in memory of one of our members, and can offer bursaries each year to prospective or current students and trainees.
We also have scholarship funds for London Foundation and Diploma Course students working in BAME environment up on which the successful candidates will pay a reduced or no fee to attend these courses.
Please see the table below for the information about these funds available to be offered, and a brief overview of the criteria. More detailed information for each fund can be viewed by linking to the appropriate page, where an application form can also be downloaded.
