Durham Masters Bursary

The Durham Masters Bursary, formerly known as the Postgraduate Student Support Scholarship, supports UK students from low and middle income households who wish to undertake a Master's programme starting in September 2026 at Durham University. The bursary is designed to help students irrespective of financial circumstances and offers support to help the brightest and best students access a world-class education. Applicants must have an offer of a place on a full or part-time eligible postgraduate programme at Durham University and must have been assessed as a home student for tuition fee purposes. Applicants must not already hold a Master's level qualification and must have household income that was assessed during their final year of undergraduate study such that they were awarded a Maintenance Loan greater than the non-income-assessed amount. Applications for the Durham Masters Bursary can be submitted once applicants have applied for a postgraduate programme at Durham University. The bursary aims to broaden horizons for UK students pursuing postgraduate study at one of the UK's leading universities.
