Scholarship Summary:
The Brunel University London Bursary (BULB) is a cash award available to full-time Home (UK) fee paying students beginning Undergraduate courses at Brunel University London and the Brunel Pathway College (BPC) in September and aims to support students from low income households who are either mature or from an area of deprivation, as identified by the index of multiple deprivation (further details can be found below).
Scholarship Applicant Criteria:
Scholarship Applicant Criteria:
The bursary will be awarded to those applicants who meet all the following eligibility criteria:
i. Must hold an offer of a place on a full time Undergraduate course (including placement routes and undergraduate integrated Masters programmes) starting in September. This includes offers made through UCAS Clearing and Adjustment.
ii. Offer must be ‘Unconditional Firm’ (UF) by the date the Scholarship Allocation Panel make their awards in early September (i.e. applicant must have met all offer conditions and firmly accepted the place).
iii. Must commence the course in the upcoming academic year (applicants for deferred entry will be considered for a bursary in the year they start their course and not in the year of their course application).
iv. Must be classed as a Home fee paying student. Applicants who are unsure of their fee status should note Brunel uses the information they have provided in their application form to assess fee status against regulations set by the UK government. For information on these regulations please visit the independent organisation UKCISA’s website.
v. Must be ordinarily resident in the UK (includes those living in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland).
vi. Must have consented to the sharing of household income submitted to the Student Loans Company (SLC). Applicants should note that without consenting to share their information Brunel cannot access any information relating to Household Income. This will result in the applicant not being considered for this award.
vii. Must come from a low income household (£25,000 pa or less, as defined in the ‘Eligibility Definitions’ below). Please note clearing applicants must ensure that they inform the (SLC) at the earliest opportunity that they are attending Brunel. This will then ensure that the SLC can provide relevant evidence that the applicant meets this condition by 16th September. Failure to do this will result in the applicant not being considered for this award.
AND must meet at least one of the following under-represented criteria (as defined in the 'Eligibility Definitions' below):
i. Must be a resident in an area of deprivation, as defined by the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 2019 Quintiles 1 and 2.
ii. Be a mature applicant, aged 21 or over by the course start date.
Bursaries will be awarded to those who meet the eligibility criteria at the time of allocation.
Where the number of applicants who meet the criteria exceeds the number of bursaries available, the number of points scored from the under-represented criteria will be taken into consideration (as detailed in Section 3 below).
