Young carer bursary

If you are a young adult carer offering support to someone and you are considering full-time undergraduate study at Oxford Brookes, there is a lot of additional support that the University can offer you.

The University offers a £500 bursary to any students who are young adult carers offering support to someone. A carer is defined as anyone, including children and adults who looks after a family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their illness, frailty, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction and cannot cope without their support.

Students are requested to complete an application for the Student Carer Bursary and evidence must be in the form of a carers assessment, medical evidence of the person you are caring for, with their permission, or evidence of your role provided by a medical professional.

Please email studentwelfare@brookes.ac.uk to request an application form or support with applying for the student carer bursary.
