Payment of Bursary and Scholarships in 2012/13 (HEBSS)

• The university will be paying the bulk of its scholarships and bursaries to eligible PGCE and full-time undergraduate students FROM 5 December 2012.
• In most cases, students will be paid directly into their bank accounts via Student Finance England (SFE).
• Those who do not receive support via SFE, will receive payment of scholarships, where applicable, from the university. Separate arrangements will be made by the UEA Planning Office to pay these students who have not applied for assistance from SFE (not including the Pathway Scholarship).
• Eligible students will not need to do anything further to receive their awards, unless they are contacted by the Bursaries and Scholarships team regarding direct payment.

The team is currently assessing all students automatically for eligibility. Before contacting the team from mid November 2012 onwards you should be able to view your bursary/scholarship confirmation letter on line at direct.gov. Select 'Logon to your student finance account' on the right hand side of the screen and then enter your customer reference number (formerly ART ID) when requested. Once in your account select 'view correspondence' and select 'entitlement' to view your confirmation letter.

• Anyone who believes they are eligible, but who has not received payment by 14 December 2012 should contact Carole Timm on +44(0)1603 59 1891 or submit an enquiry.
• Students who were previously in care may be eligible for the Care Leavers Bursary worth £500 a year. Please email student.finance@uea.ac.uk for further details.
