The Crankstart Scholarship provides a programme of enhanced support to UK residents from lower-income households who are studying for their first undergraduate degree. Eligible students commencing their studies in 2025 with a household income of £32,500 per year or less will receive generous bursary support, access to funded internships, volunteering opportunities and social and community building events. This is possible thanks to a generous donation by Sir Michael Moritz and Ms Harriet Heyman.
As a Crankstart Scholar commencing study in 2025 you will benefit from a bursary towards your living costs for each year of your course.
If your household income is assessed as being £7,500 or less, you will receive an annual bursary of £6,090. If your household income is between £7,500 and £32,500 you will receive an annual bursary of £5,250.
(New and returning scholars on course in 2024/25 should visit the Current Scholars page for details of the bursary support available in the 2024/25 academic year).
You will also have access to:
Scholarships are awarded to first year students on a rolling basis, according to the timing of their household income assessment, up to 30 May of the current academic year.
You do not need to apply to the Crankstart Scholarship. From mid-September, all students who have been resident in the UK for a period of at least three years (not for the purposes of education), commencing their first undergraduate degree and with a household income of £32,500 or less will be offered a Crankstart Scholarship. The household income assessment used will be that carried out by your regional funding agency.
