About This Opportunity

The Bury and Bolton Hometown Award has been created by an alumnus of the University originally from Bury in Greater Manchester. The public funding he gratefully received to study at Birmingham helped him to build his own career. The award is intended to assist students from the donor's hometown who are from a modest family income background, and who have similarly chosen undergraduate study at Birmingham to help them achieve their full potential and underpin their own career. The award provides financial support to students with verified household incomes of below £42,875 who were resident in Bury in Greater Manchester, or Bolton. Awards will be made to support either a career enhancement activity or living costs. This scholarship is a one-off award valued at £2,000. There are up to 3 awards available each year.
