Applying
You don't need to apply - we will know if you are eligible from your means test for the HE maintenance grant. All eligible students who have not opted out of the "consent to share" part of their SLC sudent support application will automatically be assessed for a bursary.
Please note you must be means tested by the end of the academic year (31 August) to be entitled to claim your bursary for the current academic year. Students who consent to share their information, or who are means tested after the end of an academic year are no longer eligible to receive the previous year's bursary.
