Application for a free day place

IDPE is committed to ensuring that the annual conference is accessible to all schools and that everyone can benefit from the training and networking available. Once again, we are offering a number of free places to individuals involved in schools' fundraising and/or alumni relations, who could not otherwise afford to attend.
Each bursary place will cover one day at the conference including all conference sessions and networking, lunch and daytime refreshments. Recipients will be asked, once a place has been awarded, to select their preferred day, based on the sessions that will be most beneficial to them.

Bursary places are available to fundraising and alumni relations professionals who work within an independent or state school, as well as heads, bursars, school business managers, governors and marketing professionals who wish to become more involved with development.
The only criteria is that, without a bursary place, your school could not attend the annual conference.
Please refer to the bursary places webpage for details of the full terms and conditions.

To apply, please complete this application form by Friday 7 March 2025.
