If you're a full time student you don't need to apply for the Leeds Bursary; your eligibility will be confirmed based on the information held on your student record and the information you provide to the Student Loans Company (SLC) when you apply for a maintenance loan.
Both you and your sponsors – usually your parent(s) or partner – will need to give the SLC consent to share your household income with the University.
