As a charitable organisation, the Institute of Group Analysis (IGA) is committed to promoting access to training in group analysis and supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds.
Our bursary programmes—many of which are established in memory of esteemed members provide financial assistance each year to prospective and current students and trainees. In addition, the IGA offers scholarship funds specifically for students enrolled in the London Foundation and Diploma courses who work in BAME communities and other disadvantaged settings. Successful applicants may receive a reduction or full waiver of course fees.
A summary of the available bursaries and scholarships, along with their eligibility criteria, is provided in the table below. Further information about each fund, including downloadable application forms, can be found by following the links listed in the table.
