Open to UK (home) students only.
The Care Leavers and Estranged Students Bursary is open to students with a 'Home' fee status. If you're unsure whether you're classed as a UK or international student for fee purposes, check your fee status.
The term ‘estranged student' describes someone who has no communication with both of their biological or adoptive parents, and the situation is likely to remain permanent.
The Care Leavers and Estranged Students Bursary is for students aged under 25, who come to York having been in the care of their UK local authority or who have come through the national Foyer Federation (foyer.net), or who are irreconcilably estranged from their parents.
