How do I apply?
For new full time students, there is no separate application process for the National Scholarship Programme. Elibility of first year students will be decided on the basis of the income assessment carried out by Student Finance England and grades achieved in the student's final exams.
All new students should initially apply for the full £8,500 tuition fee loan unless they wish to self-fund all or part of the year. Fee waivers will be applied later in the academic year.
Part Time
4 full time equivalent (fte) awards will be allocated to new part time entrants in 2013/14 (English domicile students from households with income under £25,000). The amount awarded will be dependant on the student's intensity of study in a given year.
How do I apply?
Part time students will need to have their income assessed by the University before 2nd September 2013 for September starters or 1st February 2014 for March starters. The Part Time Income Assessment Form can be downloaded from here
