CBA funding for Students and Apprentices

This page explains the application process and includes the form to submit an application for funding

Everyone needs a little support from time to time and the CBA have created a student fund aimed to support you with costs of attending baking industry events, courses or work experiences.

The CBA is aware that the costs of attending events and courses can sometimes be a barrier to students and trainees, which is why we both aim to support you with costs to ensure that you can gain the invaluable experience from courses and events, without having to worry about how to afford it. If you would like to apply for funding, then please complete the form below to provide more details about the event.
