The total given for this will be £500 per student per year. A student repeating a year of undergraduate study is only eligible for bursary support for the repeated year if they are in receipt of a full maintenance grant. • Royal Xxxxxxxx Excellence Scholarships of £500 per year will be awarded to excellent students from England and Wales with a household income of £39,305 or less (uplifted for inflation in subsequent years), and who are in receipt of a full or partial maintenance grant.

Bursaries and Scholarships. B1 Bursaries The University will continue to exceed the minimum required levels of bursary to students, extending the upper income level for eligibility from £25,000 to £60,000. All students eligible for UK government state support and with residual household income (UK government definition) up to £60,000 will receive a bursary of £310, payable in a single instalment in January. All the figures quoted are applicable for the 2008-09 academic year. The University’s bursary scheme will be reviewed each year. The Student Loans Company will administer the payment of the bursary to eligible students on behalf of the University. B2 Scholarships The University has considerable experience awarding scholarships and supporting scholarship students, offering probably the most substantial international scholarship scheme of any UK university - worth over £2m - and having won the Times Higher Award for outstanding support for overseas students in 2005. The University built on this experience to offer an extensive scholarship scheme for UK/EU students for 2006/7. Having evaluated the provision for UK/EU students in 2006/7, the University has refined the scheme for 2007/8 to reflect the needs of the University and students as closely as possible. There is more emphasis, in the scheme for 2007/8, on the promotion of diversity in certain subject areas, as well as continuing to promote academic excellence. The scheme also emphasizes the University’s partnership with associate and partner colleges and the provision of awards for disabled students. The University will work increasingly with external organizations with similar aims and priorities and is engaged in initiatives to provide scholarships with the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Foundation and the Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Trust, as well as the associate and partner colleges. The gold level scholarships are worth £12,000 over three years and the silver scholarships £6,000 over three years. The scholarship is guaranteed for the first year, but subject to satisfactory academic progress for subsequent years. The scholarships are offered in two types: • Awards for associate and partner colleges and schools, for any undergraduate course in the University. • Awards open to all applicants in identified subject areas where the University is particularly seeking to promote further recruitment of students from diverse backgrounds or to boost the entry qualifications of the cohort. • In both cases there are no absolute criteria for excellence and this wi...
