Eileen Drummond and Sheila Anderson Law Bursary

The Eileen Drummond and Sheila Anderson Law Bursary is a living cost bursary for first-year undergraduate students studying single honours Law from low-income backgrounds at the University of Bristol Law School. This award is specifically for Home UK undergraduate applicants and was funded through a legacy donation from law alumna Sheila Anderson. The award provides £2,000 for the first, second and third years of study, totaling £6,000 over three years. There is also an additional £1,000 available as Career Employability funding. For students who started before 2025/26, the awards have a value of £3,500, with £2,000 in the first year and £750 in both the second and third years, plus £1,000 in Career Employability Funding. Eligibility requires students to be Home/UK students with household income of £50,000 or less as confirmed by the Student Loans Company. Applicants must be eligible for financial support from their regional funding provider and must not have been enrolled on an undergraduate degree programme previously. Priority is given to students who meet a number of widening participation criteria. The bursary is part of the additional funding programme at the University of Bristol and applications are submitted through the university's additional funding page. Household income details are checked with the Student Loans Company, and applicants must apply for means-tested support and provide consent to share information.
