Bursaries
University of Hertfordshire bursaries
We offer our own non-repayable bursaries to help UK students who want to study for a degree but have little financial resources.
A £1,000 bursary is given to new students in receipt of the full maintenance grant. *
Exceptions
* The bursary is not available for degrees in:
- dietetics
- nursing and midwifery
- physiotherapy and radiography
- social work
- students studying a PGCE programme
Payments are made in two instalments:
- end January
- end April
The bursary is not linked to any student loan or scholarship which may be awarded to you.
Do I need to apply?
No. There is no need to apply for a bursary. If you are eligible you will receive the money automatically. However, you must remember to:
- submit your student finance form.
- register on a course by the 30th November.
- attend your University of Hertfordshire course.
- ensure that you and your parent(s) have consented to share your information via the student loan company.
