For courses starting in the academic year, the University of Leicester Bursary Scheme can help you if you have:

completed a University of Leicester progression programme, (Sutton Trust Pathways to Law, Access Leicester: Medicine, Access Leicester: STEM) or

completed the Realising Opportunities programme, or

a postcode identified as POLAR4 Q1, indicating an area of low participation in higher education

Additional eligibility criteria

You must be classified as a home student for fee purposes

You must be a first degree, full time, campus-based student

You must be registered as a full-time undergraduate student at the University of Leicester

Medical students
If you are a medical student and are awarded the University of Leicester Bursary, you will receive this for the first four years of your degree. You will not receive the University of Leicester Bursary for the fifth year of your degree because you will receive funding for fees and living costs directly from the NHS. Medicine Foundation Year students are not eligible for the University of Leicester Bursary at any point during their foundation year or subsequent degree.
