Care Experienced and Estranged Student Bursary

What is the Care Experienced and Estranged Student Bursary?

 

Would I be Eligible?

UK Undergraduate students - you must be a current undergraduate student at the University and meet our definition of a Care Experienced or Estranged student to qualify. Available to undergraduate students of any subject.

In order to be considered for this Bursary you must meet our definition of a Care Experienced or Estranged student: someone who has spent time in the care of their local authority/had experience of the care system. Is registered on a full-time undergraduate course, is classed as a Home student and who is under the age of 25 at the start of their course.

Next Steps?

I was eligible to receive the care leavers bursary which had given me an extra boost/ allowance throughout the year. This allowed me to have a slightly bigger budget for groceries and toiletries throughout the year. It also helped get stationary for my course which has helped a lot during the year. I also received a point of contact from applying for the bursary (Sue Wallace) who was there for me, when I needed someone to talk too or needed help for anything.
