The Social Work Bursary:
- can help with study and living costs
- is a grant not a loan
- gets paid into your bank account at the start of each term, if you are eligible
- is only available to students who meet the course and residency criteria
- is subject to capping, so the number of students who can receive a bursary is limited
- must be applied for each academic year
