Eligibility
Eligible candidates must:
- be domiciled in the UK with Home fee status;
- be from a disadvantaged background;
- hold an offer of admission to UCL to study a full-time undergraduate degree for the 2023/24 intake.
Value, benefits, and duration
The award provides £15,000 per year for a three year undergraduate programme and is subject to satisfactory academic progress. The award can be applied to cover tuition fees or maintenance costs depending on the awardee's preference.
If a student on a four year undergraduate programme receives this award, payments will be made pro rata, i.e. they will receive £11,250 for each of their four years of study.
One award is available per year.
Selection
The criterion for awarding the bursary is financial need and you will need to demonstrate this in the application.
