Utilities Bursary

The Utilities Bursary is a non-repayable financial award of £175 offered by Solent University to undergraduate students who live in private rented accommodation rather than university-owned or private halls. This bursary specifically assists students who are paying separate utility bills for gas and electricity. The funding is designed to help offset the cost of utilities for students living independently in the private rented sector. Council tax bills are not applicable for this bursary, as full-time students are typically exempt from paying council tax. This bursary is part of Solent University's broader commitment to supporting students with their living costs and ensuring financial barriers do not prevent students from pursuing their education.
