How and when bursaries are paid
There are two types of bursaries available, a Progression Scheme bursary which is based on which school or college you attended and an income related bursary which is based on your household income.
The income related bursary is paid in three instalments throughout the year. Progression Scheme bursaries are paid after you've successfully completed your studies for the previous academic year.
In order to successfully complete the year you need to have:
- submitted all of the assessment work expected of you within the previous academic year.
- achieved sufficient academic credit to be eligible to progress to the next stage of your course or graduate with an award.
