AUB Care Leavers, Stand Alone and Young Adult Carers Bursaries

• £2,000 per year, not means-tested.
• Paid in three instalments: 25% (£500) in Autumn, 50% (£1,000) in Spring and 25% (£500) in Summer.
• Each payment follows a bursary meeting and confirmation that you are attending and engaging with your studies.
• Paid into the bank account linked to your Student Finance England account.

Applications open after enrolment in September. Students who learn of the bursary later, or whose situation changes, can apply part way through the year or in Year 2 or 3.

1. Identify yourself on your UCAS application as care-experienced, estranged or a young adult carer.
2. Complete enrolment at AUB in September.
3. Follow the emailed instructions from the Access and Participation Team ([email protected]).
4. Complete the application form on e-vision in your My AUB Dashboard, using your AUB email address.
5. Once eligibility is confirmed, you are introduced to your Wellbeing Team contact.

• Contact details of a professional who can confirm your eligibility: a local authority representative, a teacher at your school or college, your GP, or another unrelated professional.

The Access and Participation Team checks eligibility using the professional reference.
