About
The 16-18 Bursary Fund is provided by the Government, via the Education & Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). By following general rules set by the ESFA, we are able to consider applicants under the following four categories:
| Vulnerable Student Bursaries | These are worth up to £1,200 and are paid to students in the following defined categories:
|
| "Free Meals" | These awards of £500 are paid to students who are (or whose parents are) receiving specific state benefits as listed on the application form. |
| Discretionary Bursaries | These are paid to students who do not qualify for the Vulnerable Student Bursaries (above), but who demonstrate financial need. These bursaries are assessed based on household income, and the amounts awarded vary on this basis. Students with a household income over £25,000 per year will not qualify for a Discretionary Bursary. |
| Residential Bursaries | A contribution towards the cost of accommodation for any students that move to London in order to study at UAL. Students with a household income over £25,000 per year will not qualify for a Residential Bursary. |
