University of Cumbria - Cumbria Bursary

Cumbria Bursary

As a full-time student, you will receive non-repayable bursary of about 1,150 EUR (£1,000) per year; as a part-time student, you will receive approximately 575 EUR (£500) per year. Full-time students usually receive this grant for the duration of their studies. Part-time students can receive it for up to 5 years. The University of Cumbria in the United Kingdom pays this as direct financial support, and you will never have to repay it.

Who can apply

• University: You’re studying at the University of Cumbria.
• Study phase: You are starting your first year of a Bachelor’s degree programme or an integrated foundation year (a foundation year that forms part of the degree programme).
• Funding status: You are a ‘Home’ student, which means you are eligible for UK student finance.
• Household income: Your household income is 25,000 GBP per year or less, as determined by your student finance organisation (e.g. Student Finance England).
• Income-based finance: You have applied for means-tested student finance. Students who have not done so are ineligible.
• Field of study: Open to all subjects.

How to apply

No separate application is required. Your eligibility will be assessed automatically when you apply for a means-tested student loan and list the University of Cumbria on your UCAS form. Your household income must have been assessed by your funding body by 2 October (the current deadline is 2 October 2026), so please apply for student finance as early as possible.
