UCAS has launched a new online tool that pulls together nearly 800 scholarships, bursaries and grants all in one place on the UCAS website for the first time, after its research found that low awareness of funding opportunities may be adding to financial uncertainty for prospective students. 

 

The scholarships tool enables UCAS applicants to easily check what is on offer at universities and colleges across the country. Awards can range from £500 to full tuition fees for both UK and international applicants, and can also cover the cost of accommodation, meals and travel.

 

Students using the tool can search for awards matched to their background, achievements or chosen course. Some of these offer extra benefits such as internships, networking or accommodation discounts. 

 

UCAS hopes the tool will help widen access to higher education by connecting students to extra sources of financial support, particularly those from the most disadvantaged backgrounds, while reducing feelings of uncertainty around costs. To access the tool and learn more, click here!
