SCHOLARSHIPS AT BCU
We want all our students to achieve their full potential. With our two scholarship schemes, you could receive extra funding and support to kick start your BCU journey.
The High Achievers' Scholarship
At BCU, we want to reward outstanding student success, and this starts before you even arrive at university. So, whatever your background, if you apply to BCU by the January UCAS deadline and go on to achieve 144 UCAS points or more, you will be eligible for a £1,000 scholarship to get your university life off to a flying start.
These points will be calculated from your main three qualifications. You will also need to have achieved five GCSEs at Grade 4 or above at the point of application in order to qualify.
There are no extra forms to fill in – just make your application by the January deadline and leave the rest to us.
THE ACCELERATE SCHOLARSHIP
We recognise that starting university comes with some big financial considerations, which is why we’re offering our BCU Accelerate Scholarship, available to all students from lower income households who enrol with our University via the Accelerate programmes.
The scholarship is worth £1,000 paid in three instalments across your first year of study to support you as you make the move from school or college.
Additional Scholarship Opportunities
Sports Scholarships
We want to support your sporting achievement alongside your studies and we realise the commitment of dual career athletes. Our Sports Scholarship is available to students studying any of our courses and performing to a high standard in their sport to help them realise their sporting potential while studying.
