    Campus student 3

    The University of Bradford is offering cash scholarships worth up to £3,000 (over the duration of a three-year degree) to all Home students who meet both of the following criteria:

    1. Students who achieve AAA or higher in their A-levels (or equivalent).
    2. Being from a low participation area as defined by POLAR 4 in quintile areas 1 and 2, which are the lowest participation areas.

    Further details of this can be found at: https://www.officeforstudents.org.uk/data-and-analysis/young-participation-by-area/map-of-young-participation/

    Students studying on an undergraduate degree programme for more than three years would receive funding for the additional years, subject to satisfactory progression (excluding any years you are paying a reduced fee, for example when you are on a sandwich year).

    There is no limit to the number of scholarships available – all students who are eligible will receive the award.
