We’re all about GREat Skills! If students participate in our outreach activities before joining us at the university, they could be eligible for a scholarship worth £2,000.
We want to reward students from the schools and colleges we work with who prepare well for university by developing their independent learning and study skills before they start with us.
If students participate in a minimum of 4 of our outreach activities during their A Level/Level 3 studies and will be joining us for their undergraduate studies in September 2025, they may be eligible for a substantial cash scholarship of £2,000.
This will be paid to students in three instalments during their first year
Cash scholarship of £2,000.

Please note, that where we receive a large number of scholarship nominations, priority will be given to submissions from those within underrepresented backgrounds, e.g. POLAR 4 Q1 and IMD Q1 (areas with the lowest proportion of young people who participate in higher education). We reserve the right to change this criteria subject to guidance from the OfS. A committee will review all applications and award scholarships on merit.
We aim to make our decision by Monday 2nd June 2025.
