Bursary
The MSG bursary scheme is open to any Bailiwick student who is not a dependant of a current MSG consultant and who has applied to start at a UK medical school from the upcoming autumn term.
The scheme gives one student a £2,000 annual bursary for up to five years while they are at medical school. If successful, they will also be offered any temporary roles the MSG has available during university holidays, providing the chance to get hands-on experience working within a medical practice, and to meet and collaborate with existing MSG consultants. To apply, students submit a 1,000-word essay outlining their career aspirations and how they would use the money from the bursary. A panel of MSG professionals reviews the applications, draws up a shortlist and holds interviews before selecting a winner.
Applications for the Bursary for starting in September 2023 are now closed.

I really valued the support I received from the MSG throughout my degree. Having financial aid took the pressure off during term time and allowed me to focus my attention on my studies and immerse myself in university life. I was able to get involved in valuable extra-curricular activities, like becoming a committee member of the Global Health Society – an area of medicine I am very interested in. It also allowed me to come back to Guernsey more often to see my friends and family. So economically it was invaluable.
But on top of the financial support, it helped me link up with the MSG and build my network with local professionals. This ultimately led me to get involved in summer work with the Group, working on projects alongside some amazing consultants. It was great experience for me; over the years I supported on several audits from patient confidentiality to paediatric presentations, and emergency laparotomy surgery, and even presented the findings at a national conference.
I’m open minded about what I specialise in. I’m currently interested in sexual health and global health, but for now I’m enjoying my rotations and exploring the different areas. I would love to come back to Guernsey to work at some point so really value the insight into the local healthcare system that the MSG bursary has provided me. I would absolutely recommend the bursary to anyone applying to medical school.
