Scholarship information
The Care Leaver and Estranged Student Bursary aims to support students who are:
Care Leavers - You have been ‘looked after’ for at least 13 weeks by a local authority at some point since you were 14 years old, and were in care on or after your sixteenth birthday.
Or
Estranged students - You are estranged from both parents/carers. By estranged we mean that either:
- You have not communicated with either of your biological or adoptive parents for a period of time before your course began
- Your parents cannot be traced or it is not possible, practical, or safe to make contact with them
- Your parents have significant mental or physical health problems which prevent you from contacting them
- Both of your biological or adoptive parents are deceased.
In order to be eligible:
- You must be a full-time undergraduate student
- You must be a UK student
- You must be paying full tuition fees (therefore NHS-funded students and students who are being funded are not eligible).
