What you could receive
Scholarships
Donor-funded scholars will be identified and contacted within their first year.
Successful applicants will be awarded £3,000 per year of study over three years (excluding placement years). This means they will be awarded £9,000 in total.
If you receive a donor-funded scholarship, you will no longer be eligible to apply for the Student Success Scholarship.
Bursaries
Donor-funded bursaries are smaller one-off payments. Award amounts will differ each year depending on the funds available and how many students are selected to receive a bursary.
If you are selected to receive a donor-funded bursary, the payment will be made after and in addition to your Student Success Scholarship award.
Who can apply
To be considered for a donor-funded award, you must meet the eligibility criteria for the Student Success Scholarship.
If you receive benefits and/or any other financial support, it is your responsibility to check whether receiving an award will affect your entitlement(s)/payments.
How and when to apply
You will need to apply for the Student Success Scholarship within the first application window of the academic year. If you meet one of the targeted groups, you will be considered for a donor-funded scholarship or bursary automatically.
If you are eligible to apply for the Student Success Scholarship, the application form can be found in the scholarships section on My Student Record.
You must read the information about the Student Success Scholarship before applying.
Applications for the 2025/26 academic year will open on Monday 8th September and close on Sunday 2nd November 2025.
Applications are closed.
