Payment dates and amounts
The Student Loans Company (SLC) administer our bursaries on our behalf. This means that bursaries will be paid to you using the bank account details that the SLC hold for your grant and loan payments. Our bursaries are paid in three instalments
- Payment 1 will be 35% of your total bursary and will be paid on 21st November 2012
- Payment 2 will be 35% of your total bursary and will be paid on 21st February 2013
- Payment 3 will be the remaining £30% of your total bursary and will be paid on 21st May 2013
Consent to share
The household income calculation that is used to calculate the value of your bursary is the one assessed in your Student Support funding application (as detailed above). Because of this, it is important that you do apply for means tested student support. In addition, in order for your household income details to be available for bursary calculation, you did not decline to share your household income data for bursary purposes. In your student support application there is a section regarding this in which you would have had to actively decline to share or "opt out" to make your household income invisible to the bursary process. This additional consent section is required to enable your household income information to be used for a purpose other than grants and loans and is a requirement of Data Protection. Actually, because some of the income data may belong to others in your household they must also take care not to opt out so that we can use their income data to calculate any bursary that may be due to you. However, if you or anyone in your household did opt out and later want to change this you can do this either on-line or by telephone to your award authority.
