ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Bursary and Scholarship 2020/21

We’re investing in your future – up to £2400* cash during your undergraduate study.

If there’s one thing that concerns most students, it’s the idea of debt and how to cover the cost of university. However, for you it need not be a worry. Here at the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ we offer a wide range of scholarships and bursaries to support your studies and that’s cash that you don’t need to pay back.

We offer a Merit Scholarship, worth £2,400* over 3 academic years, which is awarded to those who can demonstrate a high level of academic achievement, through scoring 112 UCAS points or more.

However, don’t worry if you don’t. We’re keen on supporting each and every one of our students at Bedfordshire, so if you aren’t eligible for the merit scholarship you will get £1,500* over 3 academic years with our bursary, or £1000* over 2 academic years if you’re a top-up student receiving the Level 5 bursary. We take the worry out of financial woes, leaving you more time to focus on your studies and having a great experience with us. Take a look below for more information and for the full terms and conditions.

Note: *Based on 2020 figures and for 3 years study. The scholarship or bursary is not payable during a year out from on campus study, such as the Professional Practice Year. If you are studying PE with QTS, which is a 4 year degree, you can receive a 4th year payment of £500 if you’re eligible for the bursary, or £800 if you’re eligible for the scholarship. Amount awarded on the basis of academic merit and UCAS points accumulated prior to entry. (Level 5 bursary awarded pro rata; Level 5 entry students are not eligible for the Merit Scholarship).
