The amount of Leeds Bursary you receive depends on your household income and also the year you started at the University of Leeds.

UK students can choose between a cash sum, tuition fee discount or a discount on University owned accommodation. Non-UK EU students in receipt of a Tuition Fees Loan can only receive the Leeds Bursary as a tuition fee discount.

The following tables show the different levels of support available.

If you’re a Foundation year student, find out more about eligibility for Foundation Year students.
