Pendennis Bursary (Care Leavers Bursary)

The Pendennis Bursary is designed to support students who are under 25 and are care leavers or are in similar circumstances without any family network or support. To be eligible, students must have been assessed as independent by Student Finance. The bursary provides £1,000 for each full year of study and is intended to help with the cost of deposits and additional accommodation required during the academic year. In addition to the annual bursary, recipients receive a £100 'Welcome Payment' when they arrive at Falmouth in their first term. Recipients also qualify for either a Falmouth Bursary (for 2020 entrants) or Materials Award (for pre-2020 entrants) later in the academic year. Support may also be offered to help cover the cost of a deposit for University-owned or managed accommodation, prior to enrolling.
