General information on this scholarship
General Description
The Cumbria Bursary is an annual cash award that is funded to students of The University of Cumbria who meet the criteria. The university offers up to 85 Cumbria Bursaries, each will award £1,000 for up to three years of study. Bursaries will be allocated according to the specified criteria, and there is no need to apply for this bursary. If there are more students who meet the criteria than there are awards, they will be selected based on the prioritisation criteria.
