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.

The government has announced that new and continuing students studying nursing, midwifery and some allied health subjects will receive a non-repayable grant of at least £5,000 from September 2020. Read more on the Council of Deans of Health website.
