The 16-18 Bursary Fund is a limited fund; awards are discretionary and will be means tested to enable us to award money to young people where a clear need for support is evident.
Priority will be given to students from lower income families or who are in receipt of certain benefits.

This bursary may be up to £1200 and will be dependant on your financial circumstances and evidence of financial need. Eligibility does not guarantee that a full award will be made.

The University recognises that students with limited access to IT resources may have trouble in engaging with online learning, particularly in the current climate. In response to this need, UCA is making a Bursary available for eligible students whose learning may otherwise be negatively impacted. The Bursary of up to £300 will be available to eligible students to contribute towards the cost of online learning. This could be hardware such as a laptop or hard drive, purchase of additional data, internet access or software.
