Funding Opportunities
Financial Assistance Fund
The University of Gloucestershire has established a Financial Assistance Fund that is open to applications from current students who can demonstrate financial hardship. This fund provides means-tested financial support to eligible students facing unexpected financial difficulties during their studies. The fund is designed to help students who have already taken out their full entitlement of Maintenance Loan but still require additional financial assistance. Awards are determined on a case-by-case basis through assessment of each student's personal income and expenditure. Assessments typically take up to 21 working days to complete once all relevant information is submitted, though award amounts cannot be estimated until a completed application is received. The University maintains a dedicated Money Advice Team to provide confidential information, advice and guidance on all aspects of student finance to both prospective and current students.
Sports Scholarships 2025/26
The University of Gloucestershire will award around 20 new Sports Scholarships to athletes, coaches and officials in 2025/26. The scholarships support outstanding performers in sports that are part of the Olympic/Paralympic/Commonwealth programme, BUCS competition programme, or available within the Students' Union Clubs. Awards are given based on the level of performance of applicants and their engagement with the programme. Scholarships are awarded on a yearly basis and reassessed annually through regular reviews. Students must maintain their sporting performance and academic work throughout the year, compete in BUCS competitions, and act as ambassadors at university events. Funding is paid in three instalments in November, February and May directly into the student's bank account. The amount awarded to each student depends on the number of applications received and the performance level of applicants.
Care Leavers Scholarship 2025/26
The Care Leavers Scholarship 2025/26 provides comprehensive financial support to University of Gloucestershire students who have been in local authority care in the UK. The scholarship offers up to £6,625 per annum and consists of two components: a 50% tuition fee waiver for each year of full-time study and a bursary towards general living or accommodation costs. The bursary amount is £2,000 in the first year (Level 4), £1,000 in the second year (Level 5), and £1,000 in the final year (Level 6), which can be increased to £2,000 if the student achieves an average pass mark of 60% or more at Level 5. The bursary can be received as discounted halls of residence fees or as cash support for students living in private accommodation. Scholarship awards are paid directly into students' bank accounts in three instalments throughout the academic year.
Welcome to Gloucestershire Award 2026/27
The Welcome to Gloucestershire Award is a bursary program offered by the University of Gloucestershire designed to support first-year undergraduate students who have completed their further education at eligible Tier 1 partnership schools. The award provides £1,000 in cash to qualifying full-time students entering their first year of undergraduate study in the 2026/27 academic year. The bursary is paid in two instalments: 70% after enrolment is completed (no later than the end of teaching week 5) and 30% at the commencement of the second semester (no later than the end of teaching week 5). This award recognizes the University's commitment to supporting students from partner schools and colleges with which it has established contractual outreach relationships. Eligible students must be UK residents paying home fees, starting at level 4 of their course, and must have successfully completed a full-time NQF level 3 further education course lasting a minimum of one year at one of the designated Tier 1 partnership schools no earlier than the 2024/25 academic year.
