University Scholarships – Applications Open!

All universities offer a variety of scholarships and bursaries to support students with the costs of university study. They aren’t just for high achievers – scholarships and bursaries are also awarded to students who need financial assistance or who demonstrate other achievements, such as sporting excellence or participation in community activities. There are also scholarships for different areas of study or relocation scholarships that support students in their move away from home.

If you are applying for a university course in 2021, you should investigate whether you are eligible for any of the scholarships available at your university of choice. Just search for ‘scholarships’ on the university’s website. In many cases there is a single application form to complete for all scholarships that are on offer. If you need some help, make an appointment to see me.
