Overview
We award bursaries of up to £5,000 a year for UK university students, who are in financial need, and have a parent or spouse or are employed themselves, as a commercial traveller, pharmacist or grocer.
Details
Are bursaries paid directly to applicants?
No – if your application is successful, your university will receive the bursary on your behalf, and pass the money on to you.
Duration
You can apply for a bursary for each year of your degree course. Unfortunately, we can’t offer grants for previous years of study that you have already completed.
Do you need to re-apply each year?
In general, we expect to continue awarding you a grant for as long as your postgraduate degree continues, provided that:
- You continue to study full-time, at the same university and on the same course
- Your university confirms that your academic performance is satisfactory each year
- You progress on to the next year of your course when expected
- There is no significant change in your financial situation
Your university is responsible for sending us this information in a yearly report.
