The award is available to students who enrol in September 2025 and meet specific eligibility criteria including meeting or exceeding the published entry requirements as shown on the relevant course pages of our website.  Second year payments are dependent on successful progression and continued eligibility which is assessed against the published criteria before the payment date.
