Offer Holders Day Travel Fund
Get Help with Your Travel Costs!
At Falmouth University, we want to help you make the best decision about where to study. Our Travel Fund is here to help all offer holders visit our campuses and experience student life firsthand.
If you're a UK resident, and hold a Falmouth University offer or place for 2025/26 entry, we can help cover part of your travel costs for the upcoming:
- Offer Holders Day on 9 April 2025
- May Open Day (with Degree shows) on 24 May 2025
- Campus Tours, May to July 2025
Here's how it works
First, you’ll pay for your travel to the Falmouth event. Then, we’ll reimburse you up to the amounts listed below.
If you’re facing financial struggles and can’t pay up front, get in touch with our outreach team at outreach@falmouth.ac.uk to see what options we can offer you.
Note: All Fund awards are based on availability of funds and will be considered individually.
How much can you claim?
Depending on how far you’re traveling from home to our campus, you can claim between £10 and £100. Here’s the breakdown:

- 101 to 150 miles: £50
