Overview
Access Bursaries help new UK students experiencing financial difficulties take up their place of admission at the University of Edinburgh.
If you are concerned about financing your study, consider applying for an Access Bursary.
A number of Access Bursaries will be awarded to UK students starting their undergraduate degree in the 2013-2014 academic session. The minimum value of each is £1,000 per year towards maintenance costs, paid at the start of each academic session.
Access Bursaries are tenable for the duration of the undergraduate programme of study, subject to satisfactory academic progress.
Eligibility
