Student support funds, prizes and awards
In addition to your student funding you may be able to apply for one or more of the other sources of funding available through the university and national bodies.
Other sources
You may be able to obtain other grants and funding by applying to an educational trust or scheme attached to a particular organisation.
Quite often, grants are based on your particular circumstances and the amount you may receive varies depending upon the grant awarding trust.
We ask that you take some time to research what may be available to you, it could just be worth spending an hour of your time over a coffee searching on some websites to see if you can access any other available funding.
See our handout for a list of websites for students on all courses.
See our handout specifically for postgraduate students.
