Leeds Bursary After you are notified of your award
It's important that you're aware of the next steps in the process of getting your Leeds Bursary so that you know what to do if the money is taking too long to arrive.
Once you have been notified of your eligibility
There are two things you need to do once you have been notified you are eligible to receive an award.
- Check the amount you have been awarded on Minerva by logging in, selecting 'My Leeds' from the menu options, then under 'Tools and Other University Systems' selecting 'Student Services', then selecting 'Payments and Financial Support', then finally selecting ‘Leeds Bursary Summary’
- If you are taking the award as cash you will need to provide us with the bank account details of the account you wish the money to be paid into. Find out how to provide your bank details.
The following information covers some of the more common problems with receiving payment. If still have questions, email the Funding team at funding@leeds.ac.uk.
If we haven't confirmed your eligibility
If you think you are eligible for the Leeds Bursary but have not received a confirmation email from us, it may be due to one or more of the following reasons.
- Your student finance award body (eg Student Finance England, Student Finance Wales, Student Finance Northern Ireland, the Student Awards Agency for Scotland) has not yet completed your income assessment.
Contact the appropriate student finance body to check the status of your application.
- Your student finance award body cannot share your income details with the University.
It's possible that when you completed your Student Finance application, you or your parents did not give consent for your student finance body to share your income details with the University. Check whether this consent is outstanding by calling your student finance award body.
- Your household income exceeds the maximum eligibility threshold
Check the “Notification of Entitlement” letter from your student finance award body.
If none of these reasons apply to you, and you have not received an email from us by the end of October, please contact the email the Funding team at funding@leeds.ac.uk.
If your household income changes
If you think your household income has dropped by 15% or more since the period of assessment by your student finance award body, you can ask them to reassess you. Once you have been reassessed, they will let the University know, and we will adjust your Leeds Bursary accordingly.
