Opportunity Scholarship

Scholarship award-holders will receive £3,000 per year for three years (excluding a placement year). These cash bursaries are funded through donations from alumni and friends of the University.

If you are an existing ÌìÌÃÊÓƵ student then you are not eligible for this scholarship. Please refer to our Student Support website for financial advice and guidance.

Applying for the Opportunity Scholarship – by invite only

You will automatically receive an invitation to apply for the Opportunity Scholarship if:

  • You have applied to study at ÌìÌÃÊÓƵ and have received an offer from us
  • Your UCAS application shows that you have verified free school meal status

In order to be considered for this scholarship:

The scholarships are limited in number and will be awarded to those students identified as ‘in most need’ and who will benefit the greatest from the additional financial support.  The deadline for those who are invited to apply is 27 June 2025
