Bursaries for Home Students

The University awards bursaries on a yearly basis and at two levels:

Household income up to £31,250: £3,750 bursary.
Household income £31,251 to £63,500: £2,500 bursary.

In addition to any standard bursary award, students who are estranged or care experienced may be eligible for a further £1,250 bursary award, and students who can evidence childcare responsibilities to dependents under 18 will be eligible for a further one-off payment £500.

You can take your bursary as cash to help with your living costs, to help pay your accommodation, or even to help with tuition fees. It is up to you how you choose to use your bursary. Bursary funds will be disbursed in two payments over the academic year.

Please note that only the following home fees students are eligible to apply for a means-tested bursary:
