When do I need to apply by and how will I hear the outcome?
The first application deadline for the first round of payments is 19 September 2025.
We will accept applications after this date, but this will mean a delay in your payments. Any late applications or transfers from other Bursary Schemes may only be eligible for payments from the date on which the application is received. Applications received after February half term 2026 may not be accepted – These applications will be looked on an individual basis.
We will write to tell you the outcome of your application.
We will also contact you if we need more information from you to process your application. If you supply all of the information requested your payment will be assessed and, if eligible, there will be no delay in your payments. If we have to request further information, it will delay payment
