East Durham College Partnership Award

What is it?

This award is designed to help with the costs associated with studying at university, enabling you to focus on your academic success and make the most of your university experience. The funding can be used flexibly to support essential study-related expenses such as course materials, academic resources, travel to and from campus, equipment, or other costs that help you engage fully with your course.

The award is available to eligible students progressing from East Durham College, the University's partner college, and provides financial support in each year of continuous study.

Who is this for?

Our East Durham College Partnership Award is for students progressing directly from East Durham College to start an eligible full-time undergraduate course in autumn 2026.

How much will I get?

This award provides a £1,500 cash award in each year of study, helping you access higher education with greater ease.

You'll receive one payment of £1,500 on the fifth working day of November in each year of study.
