The bursary is awarded to students who enter the University and pay a tuition fee of £9,535 per year. The value of the bursary ranges from £1,000 to £3,000 per year of study, depending on the student's assessed reckonable income as calculated by Student Universal Support Ireland (SUSI). This funding helps with living costs throughout each year of undergraduate study. The bursary amount is determined by income bands that have been matched to equivalent bursaries for students from England, Northern Ireland, and Wales, ensuring equitable access to higher education for students from the Republic of Ireland at the University of Strathclyde.

Asylum Seeker Scholarship
The University of Strathclyde has worked closely with the University of Strathclyde Students' Association, Scottish Refugee Council, and The Carnegie Trust to create this scholarship. Its aim is to help asylum seekers currently in the UK and individuals currently in the UK on humanitarian grounds to overcome obstacles in pursuing higher education. The scholarship is available to students who want to study for an undergraduate degree or a taught postgraduate degree at the University of Strathclyde. It covers the cost of tuition fees and provides money for essential study-related expenses. Successful applicants will receive full tuition fee coverage for the duration of their course until they become eligible for tuition fee support from the Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) or Student Finance in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland. Additionally, the scholarship includes a study allowance of £2,000 to cover essential study-related expenses such as books, equipment, and a bus or train pass for travel to the university from within the Glasgow area. The scholarship will be awarded for the normal duration of the student's course unless the student withdraws, completes the course, is no longer legally permitted to remain in the UK, or receives Home Office status that qualifies them for support from SAAS or other UK student finance bodies.
Finn Randall Travel Award
The Finn Randall Travel Award was established in memory of Finn Randall, an alumnus of the University of Strathclyde and an intrepid traveller. This award assists one registered undergraduate or postgraduate student of the University with the cost of a particular scheme of travel which is considered to be the most enterprising and the most relevant to their course of study. The award is granted to assist students with planned non-compulsory travel undertaken to enrich the applicant's interests and skills within their field of study. The purpose, region, and duration of the travel are entirely up to the applicant. The award is not for travel to the University, conference travel, research, fieldwork or any travel directly associated with, or part of, a course/programme/PhD. After the event, the successful applicant will provide a report on their travels to those who established the award.
Housing Support Fund
The Housing Support Fund is provided by the University of Strathclyde to address urgent student housing needs. If you are a current student threatened with homelessness owing to financial hardship, wellbeing reasons or other circumstances beyond your control, you should apply for help. The fund is designed to make a significant contribution to your ability to continue your studies successfully by addressing urgent housing needs that cannot be met through existing funding. Awards are typically around £300-£500 and are intended to meet immediate short-term housing needs. Because of this, the fund cannot be used to replace a regular income. Awards will normally be made in the form of a grant and are judged on a case-by-case basis. Registered students must demonstrate that they have an urgent housing need, are unable to meet the immediate costs through existing funding, and that a payment would significantly help them continue their studies.
Discretionary Fund
The Discretionary Fund at the University of Strathclyde provides non-repayable financial support to students facing severe financial difficulty. The fund is designed as a top-up to standard student support such as student loans, and is available to home (Scotland) students and students from the rest of UK (England, Wales, or Northern Ireland). The fund helps cover essential living costs and travel costs when students have a shortfall between their income and expenditure. The fund assessment evaluates a student's income against essential expenditure to determine if there is a shortfall that can be supported. However, the fund cannot serve as the main source of income for students. Awards are one-off payments intended to help students who are in or may be facing severe financial difficulty continue their studies. Eligible students must be registered full or part-time undergraduate or postgraduate students at the University of Strathclyde, studying a course with a normal credit load of 30 credits or more. Applicants must have already applied for and been assessed for all statutory funding to which they are entitled. EU and international students are not normally eligible to apply. The fund cannot provide support for tuition fees or for travel costs related to periods of exchange or study abroad. Applications are assessed based on income and expenditure, with awards given to cover genuine shortfalls in essential living costs. Students must provide complete documentation including funding award letters, bank statements, accommodation details, and any other relevant financial information.
FUNED Scholarship
The FUNED Scholarship is offered by the University of Strathclyde in partnership with FUNED (Fundación Mexicana para la Educación, la Tecnología y la Ciencia). The scholarship provides financial support to international students from Mexico pursuing postgraduate taught degrees at Strathclyde. Awards vary by program and faculty, with £9,000-£10,000 scholarships available for students pursuing Master's degrees in Business, £15,000 scholarships for MBA students, and £5,000 scholarships for students in each of the faculties of Engineering, Science, and Humanities and Social Sciences.

The scholarship provides £1,500 per annum payable from the date the scholarship is awarded. These scholarships are specifically designed to support students entering the University for the first time from Scottish secondary schools with low progression rates to higher education, students residing in the most deprived areas of Scotland (SIMD Quintile 1), or those who have received Educational Maintenance Allowance (EMA) or free school meals in the past three years. The scholarship helps with living costs and typically runs for 4 years, though it may extend to 5 years for longer courses. Eligible applicants who indicate they are carers or estranged students will be prioritized for these awards.
The Strathclyde Taught Postgraduate Bursary
The Strathclyde Taught Postgraduate Bursary supports access to study at Postgraduate Diploma and Masters level for students from lower income backgrounds or who face additional financial barriers to study at this level. Successful applicants will be offered an award for one year if studying full time, or split over two years if studying part time. Awards will normally be £3000 in one year for full time study or £1500 per year over two years for part time study. The panel has the discretion to award an additional £1000 to successful applicants who are likely to be in a particularly vulnerable position. This bursary is available for all Postgraduate Masters and PG Diploma courses except the MBA and PGDE. Applicants must not have already completed a postgraduate course (except a PGDE) in the UK. The bursary aims to support students who meet specific financial criteria, including those who were in receipt of various student funding support during undergraduate studies or who are currently in receipt of means-tested benefits.
Emergency Aid Fund
The Emergency Aid Fund is administered by the Student Money Support Team at the University of Strathclyde and provides short-term, interest-free emergency loans to assist students facing serious and immediate financial hardship. The fund is designed to help registered students on graduating courses meet essential expenditures that cannot be deferred until receipt of other income such as student loans, stipends, or wages. Loans must be repaid within an agreed timeframe, usually within 90 days, and students must demonstrate a realistic means of repayment. The fund is available to help with living costs and travel costs but cannot be used for tuition fees, library fines, or other money owed to the University. Students must provide supporting evidence showing the need for the loan and their ability to repay from disposable income. This emergency support ensures that students can continue their studies during temporary financial difficulties while maintaining their academic progress.
Childcare Fund
The Childcare Fund provides financial assistance to eligible full-time students at the University of Strathclyde to help with registered childcare costs. This fund is intended to provide a significant contribution to childcare costs, though not necessarily covering the full cost of wraparound, full-time childcare. To qualify, children must be under 15 years old, or under 17 if they have special educational needs. Childcare Fund awards are granted in addition to any other funding a student receives, including student loans, bursaries, and grants. Students must be in receipt of their full SAAS funding package, including tuition fees, the full living-cost loan, and the special support loan. Childcare providers must be registered with the Care Inspectorate, and students must have utilized all funded early learning and childcare (ELC) options to be eligible. The fund is allocated by the Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) to the University, which administers it according to specific policy guidelines. Awards are paid monthly into students' bank accounts and are reassessed only if there is a significant change in circumstances. The fund covers various academic programs including undergraduate, postgraduate taught, BA Social Work, and PGDE programs, with specific date ranges for each. Applications are required each semester, with separate application periods for semester 1 and semester 2 childcare needs.
FIDERH
FIDERH is a federal loan administered by the Bank of Mexico to support Mexican students in funding their postgraduate studies.

This scholarship provides a tuition fee discount to Mexican students who have been awarded the FIDERH loan for graduate studies at Strathclyde. The fee discount will be applied to those who have successfully been awarded the FIDERH loan for graduate studies at Strathclyde.
