As you would expect from a university that places great emphasis on student support, Bangor is keen to offer extra help to students. Bursaries and scholarships worth over £3M will be available for new and returning students in September 2012..

For new students these include Excellence Scholarships worth up to £5,000 across several subject areas, and Merit Scholarships of up to £3,000 for those who excel in the annual Entrance Scholarships (Closing date is 15 January 2012 for 2012 entry).

The bursaries offered include Bangor bursaries of up to £1,500 a year for those from lower income families and £1,000 for students from care.

Please choose from the menu on the right for further information on what is available and your eligibility for the various awards on offer.

Things to remember...

  • You could be awarded a Merit Scholarship, or any other of Bangor's Entrance Scholarships, in addition to any bursary payment/s you are eligible for.
  • To be eligible for any of the bursaries offered by Bangor you must complete your Local Authority's assessment form - this is the method used to assess eligibility for student loans, maintenance grants etc, and your eligibility for any of the bursaries will be assessed on the basis of the same form.
  • Bursaries will only be available to full-time, undergraduate students who are paying the full fee of £9,000, and registered and in attendance 14 days prior to the particular bursary payment date.
  • Students in receipt of other bursary payments (e.g. NHS, Health & Social Care Council) will not be eligible for the bursaries scheme.
  • Bursary payments will be administered and distributed by the Student Loans Company on behalf of the University - so you must complete the Local Authority assessment form to be able to receive a bursary payment from Bangor.
