Grants averaging just over £500 for students who:
- have made proper provision to fund a degree or higher education course but find themselves facing unexpected financial difficulties which may prevent completion of it. Applicants will normally be in the last year of the course.
- as part of a degree course, are required to spend a short period studying in another country. Examples are the fieldwork necessary for a thesis or dissertation, or medical students’ elective period of study.
Applicants in either category must be full-time students at a British University.
Grants are not given for foundation degrees until they have been converted to an honours degree.
