Scholarship Scheme for 2011/12 - September 2011 start
A scholarship is a type of financial support awarded for excellence e.g. academic, sports etc or hardship, and it does not have to be paid back.
The different schemes on offer are listed below. You can apply for more than one type of scholarship but you can only be granted one award.
Home/ EU students eligible for the means-tested University of Bradford Bursary will continue to receive this even if they are awarded a scholarship, however they will not be entitled to any other awards or scholarships.
International Students chosen to receive one of these scholarships may still qualify for In-Country scholarships offered in certain academic schools and the early payment discount, but they can not be awarded any further discounts or scholarships.
