How to apply
Applications are open from Monday 25 September 2023 to Friday 31 May 2024.
Call our helpline on 0161 247 1045 and ask for the Care Leaver Bursary and we will send you a link to complete a short online application form. Follow the guidance in the application FAQs to avoid any delays to your application.
If this is your first time applying, you will need to submit evidence to confirm your care leaver status such as a letter or email from your personal advisor from your leaving care service. It is likely to be the same evidence that you submitted to apply for your maintenance loan to Student Finance England, Student Finance Wales, Student Finance Northern Ireland, or Student Awards Agency Scotland.
We aim to assess applications within four weeks.
