Financial Assistance

Financial Assistance for Higher Education Courses at City College

There are a variety of funds and bursaries available for students, each with different criteria. Below is an introduction into the some of the various funds available, but please contact the Guidance and Admissions team for further details.

Full-time Undergraduate from the UK and Full-time Undergraduate from other EU country

University of Brighton Bursaries

All full-time undergraduate students from the UK with household incomes of up to £39,305 a year are eligible for a University of Brighton bursary worth between £520 and £1050 a year. Your bursary entitlement will be automatically assessed unless you choose to opt out when you complete your application form. You do not need to pay this money back.

Government help - the Maintenance Grant

If you have an annual household income of up to £60,005, you could qualify for  a Maintenance Grant worth up to £2,835 a year. This grant does not have to be paid back.

Government help - the Student Loan for Maintenance

You can also apply for a Student Loan to help with your living costs; the amount you receive is determined by your personal circumstances. It is repaid in the same way as the Student Loan for tuition fees, meaning you don't have to pay it back until you are earning more than £15,000 a year.

University of Brighton Scholarships

Two hundred University of Brighton scholarships worth £1000 each will be awarded at the end of years 1 and 2, and year 3 of four-year courses. These scholarships recognise the achievements of students since starting University. A range of sports scholarships are available which support the development of elite, talented and disabled athletes.
