Edinburgh Napier Driving Academy Fund

This opportunity is designed to support UK domiciled undergraduate Business School students who do not otherwise have the means to access driving lessons. Made possible by a grant from Enterprise Mobility, up to 10 successful students will be able to secure up to £1,000 funding to be used towards driving lessons.

To be considered for this funding opportunity, you must already have a provisional driving license and be willing to undertake manual driving lessons only. This fund will prioritise those students with the highest level of need.

In order to match to this funding opportunity, you must first complete the questions listed within the General Application. If eligible you will automatically match to this fund and you will then see this appear as a “Recommended” opportunity. You will then be prompted to complete the supplemental questions.
