Study level you are applying for: Undergraduate, Postgraduate
Students who meet our definition of being care experienced or an estranged student. These students will be eligible for the We Care Bursary if they are studying full-time and paying full tuition fees. Students who are on a placement year, or a year where they are not paying full fees, will not be eligible to receive the bursary during that year. You are not eligible for a University of Sunderland Bursary if you have been awarded a We Care Bursary. This is because the We Care Bursary has the highest financial value of the two awards. You cannot receive both awards. If you are initially awarded a University of Sunderland Bursary and are later found to be eligible for and awarded the We Care Bursary, any funds/credit you have received from the University of Sunderland Bursary scheme will be deducted from any in-year We Care Bursary payments. You must be a ‘Home' student studying a full-time, undergraduate course or full-time taught postgraduate course and you must have been care experienced in the UK at some stage in your life, and for any length of time, or been in care e.g. looked after by the local authority. If you are classed as an ‘International' student, you are not eligible for this bursary. Overseas Island, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands students are also eligible for this bursary. You must be either: Studying a full-time undergraduate degree (includes degrees with an integrated foundation year and Top-Up degrees) which starts in 2024/25. Studying a full-time University of Sunderland taught postgraduate course. If you are studying one of the following courses, then you are not eligible for this bursary: Continuous Professional Development (CPD) course, English for Academic Purposes (EAP) language course, PhD, Courses at Sunderland Online (with the exception of BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing (Blended)), Apprenticeship courses, Corporate and Professional Education Team (CaPE) courses, FdSc Animal Management course. You must be a ‘Home' student studying a full-time, undergraduate course or full-time taught postgraduate course. You are under the age of 25 on 1 September 2024. You are irreconcilably estranged from both parents/carers. Please note – you will not be considered estranged on the basis that you (i) live separately from your parents/carers, (ii) have recently fallen out with your parents/carers, or (iii) your parents/carers are unwilling to complete income assessment forms or support you financially.
