Access to Higher Education Scholarship

We are offering £1,000 cash per year (excluding placement years) to home students studying full time and paying a tuition fee of £9,000 or £9,250. The Access to Higher Education Scholarship is available if you are accepted onto a course with an Access to HE qualification (where it is an entry requirement for the course).

Fees may be subject to change.

• If you're starting your first year you must apply for student funding for that academic year within nine months of the start of the course, or within nine months of the start of the academic year if you are a returning student.
• Your Student Finance England (SFE)/Student Loans Company (SLC) record must be in a position for the scholarship and/ or bursary allocation to be made and paid (see point 19 for further details).
