Frequently asked questions
Am I still eligible if I receive another scholarship or sponsorship?
Yes. This is a programme-specific bursary, so you could be eligible even if you are awarded a scholarship.
Does my fee status affect my eligibility?
No. Home, EU, and Overseas students are all eligible.
I deferred from last year, am I eligible?
No. Only applicants who have applied in this cycle for the next academic year are eligible.
If I defer, will I still be eligible?
No. You are only eligible if you attend in October 2020.
If I leave part way through the year, will I have to repay the bursary?
No. You must be registered to receive the bursary so if you decide to discontinue your studies in December, you will not receive the second instalment of £500, but you will not need to pay back the amount previously received.
The programme has multiple application deadlines, what does this mean for the bursary?
Any eligible applicants will be considered and, if all 10 bursaries are awarded then no further applicants will be considered for the bursary.
When will I know that I have been awarded the scholarship?
When you receive your offer for the programme, you will be informed whether or not you will be awarded the scholarship once you are enrolled on the programme.
Will the bursary be available in future years?
Uncertain. The bursary is subject to review on an annual basis and so may be revised or unavailable for future academic years.
