The Conservatoire offers cash bursaries to UK resident undergraduate students attending any affiliate school who meet the requirements for the scheme. These are called ‘Conservatoire Bursaries’ and are available only to UK resident students new to higher education (ie those who have not previously completed a course of study at another institution). This is a new scheme offered in addition to any bursaries or other support currently offered by affiliate schools.
Eligible Foundation Degree students may choose to receive the additional final year sum in the last year of their Foundation Degree, or save it for the BA (Honours) year if they intend to continue studying. It will, however, only be paid for one year.
How much is the bursary?
The following table shows how the value of your bursary is calculated. Our calculations take into account the value of your annual household income. Remember that in your final year an additional sum is available along with the standard year bursary.
Eligibility
You must be:
- a UK resident;
- registered on an undergraduate course at one of the Conservatoire’s affiliate schools;
- new to higher education, meaning you must not have already completed a higher education programme at another university, college or a different affiliate school;
- eligible for, or in receipt of, a government maintenance grant or bursary (as outlined above).
Eligibility will be assessed by the Student Loan Company, using information on the PN1 form, which you should complete before starting your course even if you do not wish to take out a loan.
