These awards are available to all students with disabilities regardless of programme, level or mode of study.

Candidates are selected by a panel consisting of senior members of the University's Student Services division. Selection will be made on the basis of financial need and attendance at the University.

Up to five awards of up to £600 are usually available. Each award is tenable for one year only, however previous applicants may reapply in subsequent years.

Who can apply?

These awards are available to all students with disabilities regardless of programme, level or mode of study. However, proportionality will be taken into account (for example a full-time undergraduate may receive priority over a part-time student attending one day a week) and preference will be given to those with the greatest financial need.

Eligible Nationalities:

All nationalities are eligible to apply.
