Scholarship FAQ

Applying for sponsorship (or a financial guarantee)

No, we will be able to accept suitable evidence of your sponsorship as evidence you have met the requirement to pay a deposit. You should upload any documentary evidence of your confirmed sponsorship to your eVision myApplication portal as soon as you have it. Our Admissions team will then pass this to our Student Finance team who will decide whether this is suitable. If it is, we will update your record to note that you have met your deposit requirement and will send you an email to tell you we have done this.

Applying for a scholarship

If you have been awarded a full scholarship you do not have to pay the deposit. We will be able to accept suitable evidence of your awarded scholarship as evidence you have met the requirement to pay a deposit. You should upload any documentary evidence of your confirmed scholarship to your eVision myApplication portal as soon as you have it.  Our Admissions teams will then pass this to our Scholarship Team or Student Finance team who will decide whether this is suitable. If it is, we will update your record to note that you have met your deposit requirement and will send you an email to tell you we have done this.  

If you have been awarded a partial scholarship, you will be required to pay the course deposit.

Applying for sponsorship (or a financial guarantee)

For a lot of our courses this will not be a problem, and so long as you provide evidence of your confirmed sponsorship with enough time for us to prepare any Confirmation of Acceptance of Study (CAS) you might need we will be able to confirm your place on the course.

However, there are some courses (see above) which may be oversubscribed, and unfortunately we cannot guarantee we can hold a place for you while you wait to provide evidence of your sponsorship. Nonetheless, we will try to help you if we can.

As such, all applicants been awarded a scholarship or sponsorship should let us know by emailing the Admissions Office and providing as much information as possible. 

We will keep a record of your sponsorship and if we can reserve places for you. Again, we cannot guarantee we can do this so to avoid any disappointment you may want to consider paying a deposit instead.

Applying for a scholarship

If you have applied for an external scholarship and are waiting for a decision it is unlikely you will be notified on the outcome of your scholarship application by our deadline to pay a deposit. Although most external scholarships are not confirmed until the summer, Brunel supports these scholarship schemes and we aim to honour the places of all students who are fully awarded the scholarship. If your chosen course is likely to fill up early we do recommend you consider your options fully and make a deposit payment in order to secure your place. It is important to note that if you are later awarded a full scholarship the deposit payment will be refunded. However, if this is not feasible you should wait till you get the outcome of your scholarship application but please keep in mind that if you are not awarded the scholarship there may not be any places left on the course.

If you need more information about this, please contact the Scholarships Team on Scholarships@brunel.ac.uk who can advise you further.

If you meet the eligibility criteria of the Brunel Family Discount, you can receive a 10% fee reduction. 

This discount requires the applicant to submit an application before the stated deadline and to be registering onto a course at Brunel in the next academic cycle.

More information can be found on our webpage: www.brunel.ac.uk/scholarships 

Brunel Graduate Discount does not require an application, all applicants are automatically assessed by our funding team. 

Self-funding graduates of the University (who have achieved their intended award), who register for any subsequent degree programme will receive a discount of 15% on the net tuition fee due (i.e. the tuition fee after the application of any scholarship or bursary fee waivers).  This applies to students who register on a further undergraduate programme, a postgraduate taught programme. a doctoral or postgraduate research programme, online programme delivered by a third party, the PGCE programme and the Graduate Diploma in Law (CPE). 

Eligible students, who are funding their studies with a career development loan SLC Tuition Fee Loan, an SLC Postgraduate Loan, SLC Doctoral Loan or a scholarship/bursary fee waiver, are considered self-funding for the purpose of this discount.

Students whose tuition fees are paid by a third party, either partially or in full, are not usually eligible for the graduate discount.

All applicants are considered automatically and awarded if they meet the eligibility criteria and pay their course deposit by the deadlines stated in the terms and conditions. Both Scholarships have now closed and successful applicants have been contacted.

If you made your deposit payment before the deadline and have not been contacted please  email Scholarships@brunel.ac.uk, attaching proof of payment date and our team will assess your eligibility.
