Offers of award will be issued at the earliest possible opportunity and by 31st at the latest. Award correspondence will be sent to the applicant email address registered with Cardiff Metropolitan University.

Final confirmation of receipt of the award will be provided once the terms and conditions are met. Please note, payment and provision of the individual award elements can only be activated once you have successfully enrolled onto your full-time degree course.

You will be automatically assessed (not awarded) for the bursary if you meet all the following requirements: You must be classed as a Home student for fee paying purposes. You must be a new Cardiff Metropolitan University student, applying through UCAS, and entering a full-time undergraduate course at year one or foundation level. You may also be eligible if entering your second or third year from a Cardiff Metropolitan University franchise course (e.g. HND or Foundation degree course at another provider), as it represents your first time in attendance on the Cardiff Metropolitan University campus. Your permanent address must be in an area that has low participation rates in Higher Education as defined by the Higher Education Funding Councils for either Wales (HEFCW) or England (HEFCE). You can check your address by using the Cardiff Metropolitan University Criteria Checker which asks you to enter both your age and postcode. The address you have used to register with the Student Loans Company will be used in your eligibility assessment. You must use the same postcode when registering for Student Finance as the postcode you have used to register with UCAS. Your household income must be less than £30,000: To allow us to verify your household income, you must be registered with Student Finance Wales or England as a 'Means-Tested' applicant and have a completed assessment with Student Finance . In addition, you and your sponsor(s) (e.g. your parent(s)) must give 'Consent to Share' household income/financial details as part of your Student Finance application each academic year. If the above criteria are not met, you will not be considered for the bursary.
