Standard Bursaries at Bath. Any student paying tuition fees at the rate of £3000 (plus inflation in subsequent years) and who is entitled to full Government assistance (set at £2700 for 2006), will receive a bursary from the University of £1500 in 2006. This sum will increase in the subsequent years covered by this agreement, at a rate of inflation equivalent to that applied to tuition fees. The University’s commitment to bursaries of £1500 includes the minimum standard bursary of £300 as stipulated by the Department for Education and Skills. Students will be eligible for bursaries for each year of study with the exception of placement periods when alternative arrangements will be made (see section 3.3). The University anticipates that about 18% of its entrants (approximately 393 students) will be entitled to full Government support and to a University of Bath bursary. Total investment in standard bursaries is anticipated to be £589,702 but the University guarantees to fund full standard bursaries on the basis of financial need for every eligible student whatever the final number. Bursaries will be paid in cash but via instalments to take account of withdrawals and to suit the phasing of student need. Students repeating a year of study will not normally be eligible for a bursary. Annual re- assessment will not be required but those whose circumstances have changes will be invited to apply for a review of the level of their bursary. The University reserves the right to take into account additional income from other bursary schemes, whether internal or external, when assessing the level of any award from the University of Bath bursary fund. The University will determine the eligibility of students from Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland for it bursary support once the appropriate devolved authorities have put in place their arrangements for student support.
