There is no need to apply. You will automatically receive the scholarship – applied as a tuition fee discount – if you enrol on an eligible course.

If you enrol on an eligible course, the discount will be applied to your tuition fee invoice after enrolment. Please note that you will still need to pay 50% of the full tuition fee prior to enrolment.  

You can only receive one BCU scholarship. If you are eligible for more than one BCU scholarship, we will automatically award you the larger scholarship.
