Scholarships at Anglia Ruskin University - ARU

Our ARU Bursary is open to undergraduate and integrated Masters students from the UK.

It is also available to EU students starting a course in January 2021, and to those starting a course in the 2021/22 academic year who remain eligible for student finance.

Up to £300 per year (pro rata for part-time students).

The value will depend on the assessment of your household income by Student Finance England, or another UK funding provider.

Household income of £0-£25,000

• Total amount per year £300 (split into two payments)
• First payment £150
• Second payment £150

Household income of £25,001-£42,875

Duration

You’ll receive payments at two points in the academic year:

• December and April if you start a course in September
• April and December if you start a course in January.

Payments are made via BACS to your UK bank account, using the bank account details you supply when you register with us at the start of your course.

If you're up to date with payments towards your study and do not have outstanding instalments owing to Anglia Ruskin University, you'll receive your bursary as expected. If you do have an overdue payment, we reserve the right to use all or part of your bursary instalments to offset any outstanding debt.
