Bursaries for UK undergraduate students

At Brighton we provide a range of bursaries which are carefully targeted at students who most need financial help.

Remember: you do not have to pay back university bursaries. You can use the funds  to help you cover the cost of tuition, books, university accommodation, travel, study aids, childcare and more.

Your eligibility for these bursaries will be re-assessed each academic year.

New and continuing students studying nursing, midwifery and some allied health can apply to the NHS Learning Support Fund, for additional funding including a Training Grant of £5,000 each academic year for eligible students.

Further details can be found on the NHS Business Services Authority website.
