The Â鶹´«Ã½ Estrangement Bursary provides additional support if you are a new student joining us in September 2025 and have have been classed as estranged by Student Finance England.

The bursary does not need to be repaid and can be used towards paying your rent or to support your living costs whilst at university.

You'll be automatically awarded the bursary as long as you meet the eligibility criteria so there’s no need to apply. As long as you still meet the criteria, you’ll continue to receive the bursary every year you’re studying at Â鶹´«Ã½ (unless you’re on a placement year).

Please note that our bursary provision for September 2025 entry is subject to approval by the Office for Students, expected late 2024.
