Carers Bursary

The University is aware that caring may have financial implications with students experiencing higher travel costs and or find themselves less able to work part time to supplement their student finance awards.

A Carer is Someone who looks after a member of the family, partner or friend with a physical or sensory disability, learning disability, medical condition, mental health issues or someone addicted to drugs, alcohol or gambling.

Return the completed form with evidence from a professional person, who is aware of the family's situation and your caring responsibility.
If you were previously in receipt of Carers Allowance, we will need evidence from the Department of Work & Pensions that this has now ceased.

If you are carer who are paid a salary for your caring duties or are in receipt of Carers Allowance we regret that you are not eligible for this bursary.
