A cash scholarship of £3,000 per year for three years will be awarded to two home students and one international student.
The scholarships aim to support the general living and maintenance costs of students during their time at university to enable them to progress successfully. The scholarship covers, for example, equipment, materials, travel, food and rent which a loan or family support may not cover.
International students are only able to apply for one of the available scholarships.
The successful students will receive £3,000 per year for three years in three increments paid in November, February, and May, which are dependent on attendance and satisfactory academic progress.
You must have applied to one of our undergraduate courses and have accepted an offer to study with us. For home students, you must also have made your application to Student Finance England before you can apply for the scholarship.
The successful applicants are expected to act as ambassadors for the University and may be asked to contribute to promotional activities and campaigns.
