Low Participation Neighbourhood Bursaries

The Low Participation Neighbourhood Bursaries are offered by Goldsmiths, University of London to support students from areas with low participation in higher education. The bursary provides £500 to eligible undergraduate students who live in postcode areas identified as Quintile 1 under the POLAR4 criteria, indicating areas where participation in higher education is lowest. This financial support is designed to help reduce barriers to accessing higher education for students from underrepresented backgrounds. The bursary is awarded automatically to students who meet the eligibility requirements, which include having a household income below £35,000 per year and holding an offer for undergraduate study at Goldsmiths. There is no limit to the number of bursaries available, and payments are made after enrollment.
