Undergraduate Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards

New Students

We recognise the anxiety caused by the current economic situation and have recently reviewed our offer of undergraduate bursaries and scholarships for September 2025.

We are currently finalising details and the application process for our new Widening Participation Bursary for new students who come from backgrounds recognised as under-represented in higher education, and whose characteristics make them more likely to face cost pressures during their studies. This will include students who are care-experienced, estranged, young adult carers, and from gypsy, Roma, traveller, showman and boater (GTRSB) communities.

Further information, including the eligibility criteria and application process, will be made available soon.

Please note, our bursaries and scholarships are available subject to application and eligibility. We reserve the right to alter available funding or recipient criteria through our Bursary and Scholarship schemes when required to do so in order to meet our statutory obligations.

Current Students

We also recognise that many of our current students may be impacted by unexpected financial difficulties. The Students and Money Team have been working closely with the Student Union to provide advice and support on how to manage the cost of living in Winchester.

Financial support at Winchester includes:

• Digital Access Scheme
• Money and Budgeting Advice
• Winchester Learning Support Fund
• Winchester Employability Fund

Students may also be eligible for additional financial support through one of our widening participation bursaries if they meet one of the following criteria:

• Care leaver
• Estranged
• Gypsy, Traveller, Roma, Showman and Boater
• Young Adult Carer
