Leeds Bursary

Leeds Bursary

The Leeds Bursary is awarded by the University of Leeds to help UK students with the costs of being at university.

The financial support is a grant, which means you don’t have to pay it back.

If you are a full-time student, you don’t need to apply for the Leeds Bursary – we will tell you if you qualify. If you are a part-time student, you need to apply.

  • How much funding you can get

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

  • NHS-funded students

    If you are on an undergraduate Medicine or Dentistry course and about to enter an NHS-funded year for the first time, you may be eligible to get the Leeds Bursary alongside the NHS funding.
