Durham is a collegiate university and participating in a college community is an integral part of the student experience. For this reason, living in college in the first year is a regulatory requirement for most students. Therefore, financial support will be targeted at facilitating this participation, by offering the support in the form of free or subsidised college accommodation, where appropriate. Bursaries for Students Progressing from the Supported Progression Compact Scheme The University will introduce a financial bursary scheme for students who progress from the Supported Progression Scheme who will be offered £5,500 per annum for the duration of their course. It is estimated that 90 new entrants per year will be offered the bursaries. In 2012/13 with the first year of entry from the Supported Progression Compact Scheme, this will cost up to £495k, rising to £1.5 million by 2015/16 when there will be students in all four undergraduate years who have progressed from the Scheme. In their first year, students will be offered at least part of the bursary in the form of a subsidy for college accommodation.

Approximately 1,800 students in total will be in this category so that by 2015/16 the total sum committed to these will be £5.4 million, of which, it is assumed, approximately £1.3 million will be received from the government under the NSP scheme.

Financial Support for Students. 5.1 The University has committed to reduce spending on financial support by removing Promise, Xxxxxxx and Access Scholarships from 2017 entry. The savings from this will be ring-fenced to scope, identify and address issues relating to student progression and success, subject to the outcome of any changes in external circumstances. Ideally, this will result in more staff resources in Student Wellbeing and more investment in providing study skills support for students. In future years, this will also be used to cover the anticipated reduction in Student Opportunity funding.

At Leeds City College: Household income Total Bursary Semester 1 Semester 2 Less than £25,000 £500 £250 £250 £25,000 to £42, 875 £250 £125 £125 At Leeds College of Music: Household income Total Bursary Term 1 Term 2 Term 3 Less than £25,000 £1,000 £250 £500 £250 £25,000 to £42, 875 £500 £125 £250 £125 These will be for Home students and all applicants will be equally eligible. Assessment will be based on need in line with income assessments used for applications to the Student Loan Company. We will also consider other schemes based on assessment of need. At LCC the payment of the bursary is also subject to satisfactory completion of work and performance on the course. AT LCC the Bursary support has been reduced in order to be able to give more targeted support for students in financial emergencies and to provide increased support on programme. The more targeted approach to financial support at LCC by lowering the bursary and increasing the hardship fund will help to support students who really need the financial support. The management of the hardship fund over the past year has demonstrated that students require financial assistance immediately and cannot wait for scheduled bursary payments. This more targeted allocation of resources will enable us to support students when they need the support and thereby enabling them to continue with their studies.
