Eligibility
The key criterion for assessing how Courtauld Bursaries are awarded is based on household income assessments done by relevant government funding bodies, i.e. Student Finance England, Student Finance Northern Ireland, Student Awards Agency for Scotland and Student Finance Wales. This is why only Home students who have applied for Student Loans are eligible for The Courtauld Bursary scheme.
When applying for government funding, both you and your parents must consent to sharing the financial information you provide on your Student Loan application. This will allow us to access your information and determine your eligibility for a Courtauld Bursary.
In addition, Widening Participation markers are also considered. These are:
- State school or college educated
- Students whose parents have not attended university
- Resident in a low Higher Education participation neighbourhood
- In receipt of Disability Support Allowance
There is no formal application procedure and no separate application form for The Courtauld Bursary.
Your eligibility for a Courtauld Bursary will be assessed in the first few weeks of the first term of the academic year, as long as you have applied for a Student Loan. In subsequent years you will be re-assessed at the start of the academic year to ensure that you still meet the eligibility criteria for a Courtauld Bursary.
