University of Bedfordshire Bursaries and Scholarships

The University of Bedfordshire offers some of the most generous bursaries and scholarships in the country. Most UK/EU students that are starting full-time undergraduate degree courses will be able to receive up to £4,262 in financial support, and at the very least every student can receive £319, regardless of family income. This amount is non-repayable, which means that you don’t have to pay it back. See the scholarships and bursaries section for more details.

British School of Osteopathy Bursary (BSO)

The BSO scheme is for full–time home students who are charged the full £3,145 tuition fees on the BSO programme validated by the University.

It consists of a non–repayable annual bursary of £500 to students from households whose income has been assessed through the LEA/SLC process, as less than £25,000. EU students will receive the statutory annual bursary of £305.

Social Work Bursary

This bursary is available to students who are ordinarily resident in England and who are on an approved non–graduate or undergraduate course (full–time or part–time).

The bursary is non–income assessed, which means that sources of income are not taken into account. The amount is dependent on individual circumstances.

Nursing Bursary

Nursing students are eligible for a means tested bursary. It may take some time for your bursary to be processed and paid, so you are strongly advised to ensure you have ready access to enough money to meet your living and travel costs for the first 12 weeks of your course.
