Postgraduate GSCC Bursary
The postgraduate bursary is available to students ordinarily resident in England studying on an approved full-time postgraduate course. Amongst other eligibility criteria, students must also meet certain residency criteria.
The postgraduate bursary consists of a non-income-assessed basic grant that varies in value, a contribution towards practice learning opportunity-related expenses and tuition fee support up to a capped amount.
It also includes an income-assessed maintenance grant that varies in value and income-assessed allowances of various values to assist with certain costs of living, as recipients of the postgraduate bursary ordinarily will not be entitled to LA funding. Financial awards are dependant on individual circumstances.
For full details on eligibility criteria, the financial value of the bursaries and availability of application packs, students should visit gscc.org.uk or the bursary administrator below.
