University Bursary Scheme Information and Support
As part of a broad commitment to help ensure costs do not pose a barrier to students aspiring to apply to a world leading university, we offer a bursary scheme for undergraduate students to support you in your studies.
What is a university bursary?
Bursaries are offered to support students based on household income or social factors.
Students do not need to formally apply for university bursary support. All UK students are automatically considered using household income information received from Student Finance England, Student Finance Wales, Student Finance Northern Ireland or Student Awards Agency Scotland. Eligible students will be contacted from the September of the course start date. Bursaries cannot be combined (but you can receive both a university bursary and a university scholarship if eligible). Students will receive a bursary from the University during every year of study for which they are eligible, for up to four years of undergraduate study.
University bursary for students starting courses in 2025/26
Eligibility criteria | Bursary* amount | Duration |
|---|---|---|
Household income £20,000 or less | £1,600 | per annum for up to four years** of undergraduate study |
Care leavers and estranged students | £3,000 | per annum for up to four years** of undergraduate study |
* The bursary amount is based on the year you started at UEA and remains the same throughout your undergraduate studies, for up to four years
** Support is provided for no more than four years of study even if the course is longer. Please note that a Foundation Year counts as one year of study towards your maximum of four years of bursary support.
Support is on a fee pro-rata basis for those students paying half fees or less. Bursaries cannot be combined, for example, if a student is a care leaver, they will be eligible for one bursary only.
