Overview

We offer a range of support and services to help all students, but especially students who may need a little extra assistance, because they are from care or estranged from their parents. We understand that at different stages of your university life you may need different types of support and advice, depending on your own individual needs, and would tailor the support to suit you.

Students can apply once they have enrolled on the course and would need to provide evidence of their circumstances.

How is the value received?

The bursary will be paid as a lump sum in one instalment for that year.

Eligibility

Under 25 and care leaver is defined as someone who was in care for at least 13 weeks and in care on their 16th birthday. Estranged students are young people studying without the support and approval of a family network.

Degree apprenticeship students are not eligible for this award but should still declare as other support may be available to them.
