Heriot-Watt University Expenses Bursary

The Heriot-Watt University Expenses Bursary is designed to help students manage the overwhelming costs of attending university. The bursary provides up to £525 from access to learning funding to help cover essential expenses. This financial support can be used to purchase a laptop, pay for WiFi access, or cover travel expenses. The bursary is targeted at students from underrepresented and disadvantaged backgrounds, including those from priority postcodes (SIMD20 and POLAR Quintile 1), care-experienced students, student carers, and estranged students. For postgraduate taught students, eligibility is limited to those from a care-experienced background. The bursary is available for both undergraduate and postgraduate taught students studying full-time at UK campuses.
