Funding Opportunities
Military Service Award
The Military Service Award is offered by the University of Greater Manchester to support ex-service personnel studying at the University. Since 2017, the University has pledged to show support to those who serve, or have served, in the Armed Forces of the Crown, and their families, by signing the Armed Forces Covenant. This is a commitment to the principle that armed forces personnel, veterans and their families should face no disadvantage as a result of their service, with recognition of the specific challenges this group might face. The University wants to thank veterans for their service to the country and recognise their efforts through an award to support them throughout their educational journey. All students who have completed a minimum of 3 years military service since their eighteenth birthday in the British Armed Forces may apply. The amount payable is £500 per academic year, paid in arrears at the end of each academic year. Awards for the 2025/26 academic year will be paid in July 2026. To receive the award, students must have successfully completed their studies during the year on first attempt.
Group Progression Scholarship
The Group Progression Scholarship is designed to support students progressing from University of Greater Manchester partner institutions including Bolton College, University Collegiate School (UCS), and Alliance Learning. The scholarship aims to increase accessibility to undergraduate courses at the University of Greater Manchester and enhance career prospects.

The scholarship is automatically available to students who progress directly from the stated partner organizations to full-time undergraduate programs at the main campus. Students must have completed their Further Education qualifications at one of the partner organizations in the 2024/25 academic year and commence their undergraduate studies in 2025/26.

Student Support Fund
The University of Greater Manchester Student Support Fund provides financial assistance to students experiencing financial hardship during their studies. This fund is designed to help eligible students who are facing unexpected financial difficulties and need additional support beyond their student loan entitlement. Applications are assessed using guidelines provided by the National Association of Student Money Advisors (NASMA), with income and expenditure evaluated over the period of an academic year. Certain groups of students are given priority consideration, including students with children, final year students, and students unable to work due to long-term illness or disability. Applicants must have applied for and be in receipt of their full student loan entitlement and must have received their first instalment before applying to the fund. All applications are assessed in strict date order, and the University aims to process complete applications within 20 working days.
