How much is it worth?

The amount of Leeds Bursary (formerly called Leeds Financial Support) you receive depends on your household income and also the year you started at the University of Leeds.

Leeds Financial Support is being renamed to the Leeds Bursary from 1st August 2021. The eligibility criteria remain unchanged.

The tables below show the different levels of support available.
