In order to be considered for The Falmouth Bursary you will need to have been income assessed by Student Finance. Falmouth Bursaries are paid automatically based on this information. There is not a separate bursary application process.
How to apply
It is not necessary to apply for this bursary. Students are deemed as eligible only if residual household income is assessed as less than £25000 pa, by Student Finance, which is as part of the Student Finance application process.
Eligible students will be written to, normally before the end of Study Block 1, with details of the award rate and payment date. Subject to continued student attendance, the bursary will then be paid directly to the student, by the end of February of the same academic year, using the bank account details provided to Student Finance.
