• In order to be eligible, a student must be fully enrolled on a University based PGCE programme* as a full-time student on 15 October 2020, if enrolling in September 2020, or 29 January 2021, if enrolling in January 2021, to qualify for the scholarship.
• In order to be eligible, a student must be a graduate with a BSc, BA or LLB issued on or after 1 September 2015 from either the University of Cumbria, University of Central Lancashire, University of Lancaster or Salford University (if studying at the Lancaster or Carlisle campuses) or the University of Cumbria or Queen Mary’s University (if studying at the London campus). Eligibility will be checked through a review of the records of past study held by the University.
• The £1,000 cash payments will be made to eligible students on or before 1 November 2020, if enrolling in September 2020, or 14 February 2021 if enrolling in January 2021, via a BACS transfer. Students must have a UK bank account and provide, where not already held by the University, details of this bank account in order to receive payment.
