Description
At Birmingham we believe that financial worries should not be a barrier to accessing higher education. If you are a UK student who started their studies in September to undertake your first undergraduate degree then you may be eligible for additional financial support in the form of a Chamberlain Award.
Benefits
The Chamberlain Award is up to £2,000 per year of study, dependent on household income and subject to continued eligibility and normal academic progression:
£2,000 award for students who have a household income of £25,000 or less
£1,000 award for students who have a household income between £25,001 and £35,000
Eligibility
In order to be eligible for a standard Chamberlain Award you must:
- be a UK-resident student undertaking a first undergraduate degree at the University of Birmingham's UK campus
- have started your undergraduate degree in September
- be a normally registered student at the University of Birmingham
- be deemed eligible for maintenance support by the Student Loans Company (SLC)
- be means tested by the SLC in each year of study and agree to share your household income information with the University (please note that whilst you do need to apply for a Maintenance Loan from the SLC to be considered for a Chamberlain Award, you do not need to take any Maintenance Loan offered to you by the SLC. Please do not cancel your application with the SLC should you not wish to take out a Maintenance Loan)
- be liable for the full standard undergraduate fee, paid to the University of Birmingham.
- not be eligible to receive NHS funding, with the exception of MBChB Medicine and Surgery or BDS Dental Surgery
