In order to be considered for the scholarship, please ensure you have ticked the ‘in care’ box on your UCAS application. The on-course contact for care experienced students will then email you after results day to confirm eligibility.
If you are on a Year Abroad or Placement Year you will not be eligible for the award in that year. This is because students pay reduced tuition fees to the University during these years.
