Description
The National Scholarship Programme has been introduced to help students from low-income households and underrepresented groups to enter Higher Education.
The University of Worcester is offering 200 scholarships in 2012/13. Each scholarship is valued at £3000 or a pro rata amount in the case of part time students and is awarded in the form of a fee waiver to first year students.
Eligibility
Applications will be considered from students intending to register at the University of Worcester during the academic year commencing in September 2012 and whose household income (as verified by Student Finance England) is £25,000 a year or under, although meeting this criteria will not automatically entitle applicants to the scholarship. Scholarships will be awarded in strict order of level of household income until all the available scholarships have been awarded. Special consideration will be given to students who have been in care and to refugees.
Applicants must not normally be resident in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland and will need to be registering on courses that cost more than £6000 or the part-time pro rata equivalent.
Application Procedure
Submit an income assessed application to Student Finance England (SFE) and submit all evidence requested. You must also ensure that you or your parents do not tick the box on your application that removes the consent to share because this would prevent confirmation of your income being shared with us. You should be able to apply to SFE for student funding online from January 2012 but for more details on when you can apply please visit their website www.direct.gov.uk/studentfinance
Submission Deadline
31 August 2012
