Awards of up to £2,500 are available for every year of your course.

This is not a loan: it is a grant from the University that does not have to be repaid. Payments are made directly into your bank account in two instalments in December and March. You are also eligible for a discounted Active Plus sports pass.

You may also be interested in applying for additional funding.

Eligibility

You are eligible if you:

• are a Home UK undergraduate on a full-time or part-time programme;
• are eligible for and have applied for a means-tested government maintenance loan (with Student Finance having shared your household income details with us) 
• have a household income of £50,000 or below

For full eligibility criteria, read the terms and conditions.

How to apply

You do not need to apply for this bursary. You must:

• apply for financial support from your regional funding provider, who will assess you for means-tested support
• provide consent to share your household income

The University receives your household income information from the Student Loans Company. We will email you with your bursary entitlement in the autumn term.

If you think you are eligible, and we have not contacted you by 31 October 2024, please email scholarships-bursaries@bristol.ac.uk.

Deadline

You must have claimed your University of Bristol bursary by the last day of the summer term for each academic year.

Assessment process

The University will assess your entitlement to a bursary based on your household income.
