Bursaries for UK/EU Undergraduate Students

This Undergraduate Award Scheme is part of Bath Spa University’s Access Agreement with the government and is aimed at widening access to degree courses by removing financial barriers to education for students from under-represented groups.

The bursary is a cash award ranging between £350 and £500, providing students continue to meet the eligibility criteria.
