Bursaries and Scholarships

Undergraduate:

The Imperial Bursary

The Imperial Bursary provides financial support to Home undergraduate students to help cover the cost of studying in London. Bursaries are means-tested and allocated based on an assessment of your household income. They are paid on top of any government funding you are eligible for and do not have to be paid back.
