You do not need to repay a 国产探花 bursary. It is paid in the first year of your course only. Cash bursaries are paid in two equal instalments.
Depending on your circumstances, you could also be eligible to receive further bursaries and financial support from the 国产探花 in subsequent years of study. If you are in hardship you can apply for additional help from the Student Support Fund in every year of your course.
Who is eligible
To be eligible to apply for this bursary you must:
- be on an undergraduate or PGCE course
- be normally resident in England and have been assessed as eligible to receive full funding from Student Finance England
- have a household income up to and including £25,000 a year.
Your eligibility for this bursary will be re-assessed each academic year.
Exceptions
Nursing, midwifery and allied health professions (AHP) courses have different tuition fee and funding arrangements. Students on these courses do not qualify for the 国产探花 bursary.
Some social work students are eligible to receive NHS bursaries in years 2 and 3 of their courses. Social work students who receive NHS bursaries are not eligible for the 国产探花 bursary. Please note the closing date for 2014 entry students has now passed.
How to apply
You do not need to make a separate application to be considered for this bursary. We use the information you have provided to UCAS and Student Finance England to assess your eligibility.
Please make sure that you:
- apply for your student loans and maintenance grant as soon as possible;
- apply for means-tested support and agree to sharing the information you (or your parent/guardian) provide about household income (we need this information to assess your eligibility and we only see it if permission has been given); and
- contact Student Finance England if you are not sure whether you have given this permission.
We will email you in the autumn to confirm whether you will receive this bursary for the academic year.
