The Care Leavers/Care Experienced/Estranged Student Bursary provides three payments each year and continues throughout your undergraduate degree programme. You do not need to reapply each year.
To be eligible for the care leaver/care experienced bursary, the student will need to have spent at least 13 weeks of the last 5 years in local authority care prior to the start of their course.
To be eligible as estranged from their parents/guardians, the student should have had no contact with their parents/guardians for at least 12 months before the start of their course and be unlikely to have a relationship with them again.
