Bursaries and scholarships

Find out about bursaries and scholarship opportunities open to current students.

Bursaries

A bursary is a non-repayable award given by the University as extra financial help. Unlike a scholarship, bursaries are awarded to students who meet specific set criteria. Students do not need to apply to receive a bursary, however in order to be included in the automatic assessment process, students must:

  • Be studying an undergraduate level course (including integrated Masters programmes and undergraduate courses with a foundation year)

  • Be studying full-time

  • Have a UK Home fee status

  • Be liable for the full £9,535 tuition fees for the year

  • Have a means tested UK Student Finance application

See more detailed information about the bursaries the University of York offers and the full criteria for eligibility.

Scholarships

A university scholarship is a non-repayable financial award usually given to students following a competitive application process. They can also be awarded based on outstanding academic achievements or extra-curricular activities.
