You don't need to complete a separate application form. When you apply for student finance through Student Finance England (SFE) please give your consent to share your financial information with the University, all your sponsors must also give their consent to share their financial information with the University. You will then be automatically considered for a bursary, provided you meet the eligibility criteria listed above.

Notification and payment

Students who have been offered a bursary, will be contacted during January 2017 by email. Payments will be made in two equal instalments in January and April each year.

Please note: allocation of these bursaries in the first year is dependent on the selection parameters and the number of bursaries available. This means that not every eligible student will be granted a bursary. Bursaries will be awarded to eligible students from the lowest household incomes.
