Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Grants

Financial help with your studies that doesn't need to be repaid.

Undergraduate scholarships, grants and bursaries

We know that studying for a degree can be expensive, which is why we have a range of undergraduate scholarships, grants and bursaries to help you out financially. And it's good to know that these do not need to be repaid.

Applications for most of them open at the start of the academic year, so you can apply as soon as you get here. Our advisory team are on hand to help with your application. 

Each one has its own application criteria - so just be sure to check the details before you apply.
