Most UK/EU undergraduate students can get loans to cover their fees and, depending on your family's income, you might be entitled to more help from the government in the form of loans or grants.
International students may also be able to access financial support from their government.
The Scholarships and bursaries available to current undergraduate and postgraduate students changes on a regular basis so please keep checking to make sure you are eligible to receive a financial reward.
Please note that the decision of the Scholarships Committee is final.
Although you are welcome to apply for more than one Scholarship (if eligible) please note that successful applicants can only be in receipt of one scholarship at one time.
