Undergraduate students can only apply for the bursary from course year 2.
Postgraduates can apply from the beginning of the course.
You must apply for your bursary as soon as your course and cohort details are available in your MyFunding account.
Each cohort will have an application deadline which will be made available nearer to the start of the cohort.
Deadline dates are available on the website.
These closing dates apply to all available elements of the bursary, except Childcare Allowance (CCA) and Disabled Students Allowances (DSAs). These elements can be applied for at any point within the academic year, as long you've already applied your bursary in time.
If Parent's Learning Allowance (PLA) was applied for prior to the deadline for your child, Childcare Allowance (CCA) applications can be considered after the deadline.
We can consider adding a first child or newly dependant adult to your current academic year award. You must have already applied for the maintenance grant prior to the deadline and your change must have occurred after the deadline, to be considered for this. if this change occurs after the deadline, however, you must have already applied for the maintenance grant prior to the deadline to be considered for this.
No other exceptions can be considered if we receive a late application.
