Bursaries and scholarships support young people from underrepresented backgrounds (i.e. Black, Asian and ethnic minority students, disabled students and those from low-income households).

For families with a total household taxable income below £25,000, full bursary awarded where possible
For families with a total household taxable income between £25,000 - £50,000, partial bursaries awarded where possible
