St Mary’s Bursaries A bursary of £1,000, paid as cash over 3 years, to all full-time undergraduate students with a household income of less than £25,000, as verified by the Student Finance assessment. We have calculated that this will benefit around 39% of our student intake. Students will be required to meet the following criteria: To be eligible to apply for a St Mary’s Bursary students must: have an assessed annual household income below £25,000, and have been offered a place on a full-time or part-time (minimum intensity of 25% of full-time degree) undergraduate degree course or foundation degree course, and be ordinarily resident in the UK or the EU at the start of their course, and have completed an Application for Student Support through the relevant awarding authority and agree that their financial information can be shared with St Mary’s University, and make/have made St Mary’s University a firm choice, and register on an undergraduate/foundation degree course at St Mary’s University in September 2016 The bursary is subject to progression to the next level of study and will be paid as follows: Year 1 £500 Year 2 £300 Year 3 £200 Students who register on a part-time undergraduate or foundation degree course will receive a bursary pro rata to the percentage of full-time study at each level of the course. Working with the student body, it is apparent that there is an expectation for additional financial support, especially from students with a low household income. It is intended that the package of financial support offered by St Mary’s will help meet this expectation.
