New student bursary scheme

Our new student bursary scheme is designed to assist those who are able to demonstrate need. It is open to all students from all countries and will provide up to a 50% discount (subject to certain conditions) on fees for the duration of the course.

This funding is aimed at helping those studying prequalification or undergraduate courses and therefore is only available for the Diploma in Surveying Practice, Diploma in Construction Practice and BSc programmes.

To apply for a bursary with the College you must first be offered a place on the course. If your application is successful you will receive your student registration agreement. At this stage you can apply for a bursary by completing in the bursary application form  and submitting it with the necessary documentation to the College. If your application is accepted you will be notified before the course start date.

The deadline for applying for the course in order to secure a bursary is six weeks prior to the course start date, which is two weeks earlier than normal deadlines. Please double check the application deadline of your chosen course to ensure it reaches us in time.
