BBKOutreach

We're delighted to be able to offer a range of scholarships and bursaries to support mature students, lower earners, asylum seekers and BAME learners (among others!) into Higher Education. This thread brings together some of the opportunities available for the next academic year:

Firstly, we oversee the Compass Project, which offers 20 scholarships to asylum seekers looking to study a university-level programme with us.

The deadline for this year's scholarship is 31st May: http://www.bbk.ac.uk/student-services/financial-support/compass-project-fund

Our @AskUnum bursary offers £1000 cash to several undergraduate students who are starting with us this autumn. Open to those with a household income under £25,000 and particularly if you'd be the first in your family to go to university.

The Camden Scholarship offers full fee-waivers for two Camden residents looking to start an undergraduate course with us. If you are only just beginning to think about coming to university and want more advice or guidance, email us at getstarted@bbk.ac.uk
