Broadening Horizons Award (Global Mobility)

Award value

We are not able to guarantee funding to all applicants. This means that even if you meet one or more of the criteria to apply for the award, you are not guaranteed to receive funding. Students usually receive awards in the region of £250 to £900. Award amounts are subject to change year on year and will depend on which and how many primary and secondary criteria you meet, level of financial need, destination, length of stay, and the overall number of applications received by the Global Mobility Office in each round. In some cases, we will take into account the quality of students' qualitative responses.

Who can apply?

We welcome applications from home-fee-paying undergraduate students completing an eligible activity who:

• Have taken part in K+
• Have taken part in a Realising Opportunities or a Sutton Trust Summer School (these criteria apply for students starting their degree up to including 2025/26 entry)

• Have a Disability requiring additional financial support to study abroad (we will ask for further information on the costs you will incur)
