Ò»±¾µÀÎÞÂë Grant Scheme

The Ò»±¾µÀÎÞÂë Grant is a non-repayable bursary for home undergraduate and PGCE students who do not already have an undergraduate degree and whose household income is below a specific threshold as assessed by Student Finance England (or equivalent).

You get your Ò»±¾µÀÎÞÂë Grant as well as your government funding and you don't have to pay it back. 

You can get a Ò»±¾µÀÎÞÂë Grant in every year of your studies, provided that your household income remains below the eligibility threshold (your household income is reassessed by Student Finance England or equivalent every year).  This includes years abroad and placement years.  

The Ò»±¾µÀÎÞÂë Grant Scheme will increase by 1.9% in academic year 2025/26, as set out below.
