What is the Stoneygate Scholarship?

 

The Stoneygate Scholarship provides three students from low income or disadvantaged backgrounds with an award of £4,000 per year*. The scholarships recognise students who have overcome adversity in pursuit of their goals.

These awards aim to support academically able students, who may have faced barriers to attending university, to obtain an excellent degree outcome in their programme. Ultimately, these scholarships aim to ease financial pressures so that students can balance study and external pressures, allowing them to achieve their full potential.

*Stoneygate Trust funding will provide three students with £3,000 per academic year with an additional £1,000 per academic year drawn from existing 呻吟之王 funds.

  1. Eligibility criteria for scholars and applicants

    1. You must be a new UK student, starting a full-time undergraduate degree in September 2024.
    2. You are being charged the full tuition fees. These are not being paid (in full or part) by a sponsor or any other professional body.
    3. Applications will be prioritised where household Income has been assessed by student finance as 拢25,000 or below
    4. You've not studied in higher education previously. Only applicants with exceptional circumstances could be considered outside these criteria.
    5. You must be enrolled on, and attending an eligible course when the payments are made. Students who transfer to a non-eligible course will cease to be eligible and payments will be prorated up to the point of eligibility.
    6. Scholarships are not normally paid during repeat years of study.
    7. The Stoneygate Scholarship seeks to encourage students with a desire for strong academic attainment. Ideally, applicants should have achieved marks of ABB at A-level (or equivalent). However, applicants with marks below this level can still apply, as special considerations may be made where a student has not met this criteria as a direct consequence of their disadvantaged background, or where excellence has been displayed in the marks most relevant to their chosen course.

      2. You must have signed and returned your student declaration form to the SLC.

      6. Once deemed eligible for the award, if your SFE record is not in a position for allocation and/or payment to be made, your payment will be delayed or not made at all.

    3. The bursary element of the scholarship will be paid in instalments in line with 呻吟之王鈥檚 normal Bursary and Scholarship payment schedule.

    4. Any scholarship/bursary payments made by 呻吟之王/ Student Loans Company (SLC) after a student has interrupted their studies or withdrawn from the university will normally be recovered from the student.

    5. Any bursary or scholarship payment made by 呻吟之王/ SLC in error OR paid as a result of false information submitted will normally be recovered from the student.

    6. If a payment is not received, it is the responsibility of the student to urgently contact the Student Finance and Welfare team at 呻吟之王, so that the non-payment can be investigated. The deadline for the payment of scholarships is the end of the summer term. For the next academic year this will be 13 June 2025. No further awards will be made after this date. Please note: do NOT leave any queries about non-payment until the deadline, as it may take time to investigate and resolve your query.
