Could you benefit from a bursary?

We know going to university can sometimes be expensive, but local charity the Denise Coates Foundation is offering to help new and existing Staffordshire University students with bursaries for eligible applicants.

Eligibility criteria

How to apply

Applications are now closed for the academic year 2021-22.

The Denise Coates Foundation have generously confirmed they will donate again and support even more students.

As there are a limited number of bursaries available, remember to put your all into the application. Ensure you review before submitting, check your spelling and ultimately outline your goals and ambitions and explain with passion how this bursary will help you to achieve.

• Applications for this scholarship will close Monday 17 January 2022 at midnight.
• Applicants will be made aware of the outcome of their application by Monday 31 January 2022.

Please ensure:

• You spell check your application
• Highlight your ambitions
• Highlight your goal
• Explain why you chose your degree, what will studying at Staffordshire University do for you
• Don’t focus on your personal/home life situation, this bursary is meant to help support your time at University, to help towards trips, equipment or other items that take your degree to the next level
• This is not meant as a hardship bursary – if you are having any financial difficulties or struggles please contact the main University Financial Support team

The bursary will be paid in two instalments directly to the provided bank account – Students must be in full attendance for these payments dates.

Students must be actively engaged in their studies, with failure to do this resulting in the bursary being taken away from them.

They must also be willing to be involved in University publicity campaigns e.g. social media, web, magazines if required.

Bursary Payment Exemptions

• The University will conduct a review of a student’s bursary if progress or performance in their studies is deemed to be unsatisfactory without an appropriate reason for this.
• If the scholar ceases to no longer be a registered full-time student at the University or they take up full-time employment whilst in receipt of the bursary, no further payments will occur.
• The University has the right to withdraw an award from anyone who is found to have misled the institution about any aspect of their eligibility and to seek repayment of any monies already paid to them.
• Staffordshire University reserves the right to revise or amend these terms and conditions at any time without prior notice. All decisions made by the Development and Alumni Relations Office are final. Individual feedback is not guaranteed.
