Eligible students will receive a £500 bursary in each academic level of study from Level 4 onwards for a maximum of 3 years (dependent on successful progression and continuing to meet eligibility criteria).
Students will be automatically reassessed for this bursary every year. In the event an eligible student receives a ‘not eligible’ outcome upon automatic reassessment, the award will cease. If the student is intercalating from studies, no payment will be awarded during this period, however the application will be auto assessed upon return to study.
