  • you have lived in Wiltshire or Swindon for at least two years (If you are already at university your family home must be in Wiltshire or Swindon)
  • you are eligible for funding through Student Finance England
  • you are planning to study (or already studying) for your first undergraduate degree at a UK university/institution.

What can the bursary be used for?

Bursaries can be used towards:

  • general living expenses
  • course costs
  • travel costs (excluding studying abroad)
  • books and equipment

Further guidance on the programme is available here and we ask you to read it before starting your application.

We have a limited number of bursaries to award each year, so being eligible does not guarantee that you will be awarded a grant. We may receive more applications than we can fund. We aim to award bursaries to those who will benefit most.

This programme opens for applications in January 2024.
