Travel Bursaries

The University of Glasgow is offering travel bursaries to assist with public transport travel costs, to support undergraduate students who could face financial difficulties in taking up their place to study at the University for 2026 entry. The value of the bursary is 50% of your monthly public transport travel costs to get to University, up to a maximum value of £50 per month. Priority is given to new entrants to the University. Continuing students previously in receipt of the bursary can apply, however, preference will be given to new entrants. The scheme provides 8 monthly payments paid from October to May, assessed on journey costs, with the University covering the cheapest feasible route. Please note that if you are under 22 years of age and can reasonably travel to Campus by bus, you will not be considered for the travel bursary due to the Scottish Government's Young Persons' Free Bus Travel scheme which gives free bus travel to young people under 22 years of age.
