What additional financial support can I access as a care experienced student?
Answer
The main financial support that we offer care-experienced students is the Care Leaver Bursary
This bursary is worth £1,100 per academic year and is paid to you in two instalments, £550 in November and £500 in April
You will receive this for each year of your study, but not for any repeat years that you undertake or under certain circumstances if you change courses
If you have ticked that you are care-experienced on the UCAS and Online Registration form then we will contact you to apply for the bursary
If you haven’t heard anything from us by October after you’ve registered then contact us on careleaver@salford.ac.uk
Care experienced students can apply to the Salford Support Fund and we encourage them to apply as they are a priority group for the fund
