a) a graduate with a First Class or Upper-Second Class honours degree (2:1) or a master’s or doctoral degree or their overseas equivalents, or be a final year undergraduate student who is expected to achieve a 1st or 2.1 (If your qualification is not from a UK institution please pay particular attention to the section below on Degrees Awarded Outside the UK.)
​
b) accepted on to or applying for a course of study at a UK university in 2022/23 for: 
a degree in medicine, dentistry or veterinary studies taken as a second degree, 
or for a Doctoral or Master’s degree in any subject

and in all cases, your 2022/23 academic year must officially begin on a date in 2022 and last for at least eight months

​

c) already living in the UK at the time of application
 
d) planning to remain living in the UK throughout the course of study
 
e) facing a financial shortfall in the academic year 2022/23. 
 
Note that applications are welcome from students beginning their first year of study, as well as from those who have already embarked on their course.
​
If each one of a) to e) above applies, then you are eligible to apply for a grant when we re-open. The application form will be available from 4 January 2022. Completed application forms will be accepted from that date until we have received the maximum number of 300 applications, at which point the application ‘window’ will close.
