University of Portsmouth Bursary

You’ll get this bursary of £500 a year if you’re a full-time undergraduate student from England and your household income is less than £25,000 a year.

You can’t get this bursary if a sponsor (such as an employer or NHS organisation) is paying all or some of your tuition fees.

No need to apply

You don’t need to apply for this bursary. We’ll check if you’re eligible for it once you’ve applied to Student Finance England for income-based support and it has verified your household income.

On your Student Finance England application, you just need to make sure:

• you’ve said you'll be studying at the University of Portsmouth
• you (and your parents or partner) have given your consent to share your information with the University

If eligible, you’ll receive your bursary directly into your bank account in 3 instalments in December, February and May. If you’re not in attendance at the University at a certain date before the bursary is due to be paid, you won’t be eligible for that instalment.
