University Scholarships and Support
Over £4m invested in scholarships every year
The University of Bradford offers a wide range of financial help to assist you on your university journey, and invests over £4m annually in the Access Agreement and other scholarships to support students from all backgrounds.
Every year we award numerous non-repayable scholarships to UK, EU and international students on the basis of academic excellence, personal circumstances or economic hardship. Some of our scholarships are also linked to studies in a specific subject area.
You can apply for more than one type of scholarship but you can usually only be granted one award. If you are a postgraduate student and awarded a scholarship, this does not affect your right to apply for a postgraduate loan. NHS-funded students are not eligible for University of Bradford scholarships.
