Bursaries funded by the generous support provided by the England and Wales Cricket Trust are intended to increase the diversity of learners taking their first step into coaching, gaining a qualification or taking the next step on their coach development journey.

Groups that have been identified to increase the diversity of learners accessing coach development programmes are:
  • Potential coaches/existing coaches that are female
  • Potential coaches/existing coaches from ethnically diverse communities
  • Potential coaches/existing coaches with a disability
  • Potential coaches/existing coaches experiencing financial hardship.
A bursary can be awarded to learners that register on ECB Support Coach, ECB Foundation Coach or ECB Core Coach programmes between 1st February 2024 and 31st January 2025.

Anyone wanting to access coach development that is experiencing financial hardship will be awarded a bursary of up to 100% of the national price of the programme.


Anyone wanting to access coach development that is female, from an ethnically diverse community, has a disability who is not experiencing hardship will be awarded a bursary of up to 50% of the national price of the programme.

Once an applicant receives confirmation they will need to complete their programme registration and make payment and upon attendance at the face to face modules will receive their bursary.

Please provide as much as information as possible when completing your application. We rely on your consent to process your application for a bursary. You can withdraw your consent at any time. However, we will be unable to process your application.
