Student Success Scholarship

To determine if you are eligible for an award and how much your award will be, we will look at your household income and the priority groups you are in.

Our priority groups are:

Care leavers

Students who are estranged from their family

Students with caring responsibilities

Students who have refugee status

Transgender students, inclusive of non-binary genders

Student parents

Students with a disability

Final year students

Student from minority ethnic backgrounds

Students studying a high-cost or high-intensity course

You can apply for the Student Success Scholarship if you:

are a fully enrolled,

are studying a full-time or part-time undergraduate course,

are paying a tuition fee of £9,250 or the part-time equivalent – this can be self-funded or through a student loan,

have been means tested by a UK student funding body, such as Student Finance England,

have a household income of £62,347 or less, and

have consented to share your household income with the University as part of the means testing process.

Although you need to be means tested, you do not have to take out a maintenance loan to be eligible.

You are not eligible for this scholarship if:

you receive a teacher education scholarship/bursary,

you receive an NHS Training Grant or Social Work Bursary, or

it would negatively affect your eligibility for another scholarship/bursary.

If you receive benefits and/or any other financial support, it is your responsibility to check whether receiving an award will affect your entitlement(s)/payments.
