How it works
You do not need to make an application to be considered for this bursary. Using the information you provide to UCAS and Student Finance England, we assess you against the eligibility criteria. You must apply for means-tested support. If you are eligible we will send you an email towards the end of September to confirm you have a bursary.
Make sure you apply to Student Finance England for your student loans and maintenance grant as early as possible. They will advise us if you meet the income criteria for this bursary, however we only receive the information from Student Finance England if you have agreed that they can share it. If you are not sure whether you have given this permission, contact Student Finance England.
