Scholarships and bursaries

Receiving a scholarship or bursary can offer vital support for students, providing them with additional financial help during their studies.

At Solent, we offer a number of non-repayable scholarships and bursaries for UK or overseas students, and for undergraduate and postgraduate studies.

What is a scholarship?

As well as providing financial support, scholarships also recognise a student's achievement, ambition, and potential. A scholarship is normally awarded to an applicant who has excelled in a certain subject or area, or who meets certain conditions at application. 

What is a bursary?

A bursary is a means-tested financial award given to students who need additional financial support to help them through their studies.
