Benefits

Stoneygate Trust funding will provide three students with £3,000 per academic year with an additional £1,000 per academic year drawn from existing DMU funds.

Requirements

1. You must be a new UK student, starting a full-time undergraduate degree in September 2025.
2. You are being charged the full tuition fees. These are not being paid (in full or part) by a sponsor or any other professional body.
3. Applications will be prioritised where household Income has been assessed by student finance as £25,000 or below
4. You've not studied in higher education previously. Only applicants with exceptional circumstances could be considered outside these criteria.
5. You must be enrolled on, and attending an eligible course when the payments are made. Students who transfer to a non-eligible course will cease to be eligible and payments will be prorated up to the point of eligibility.
6. Scholarships are not normally paid during repeat years of study.
7. The Stoneygate Scholarship seeks to encourage students with a desire for strong academic attainment. Ideally, applicants should have achieved marks of ABB at A-level (or equivalent). However, applicants with marks below this level can still apply, as special considerations may be made where a student has not met this criteria as a direct consequence of their disadvantaged background, or where excellence has been displayed in the marks most relevant to their chosen course.
