Who is eligible for the RVC Bursary?
Only applicants receiving a Maintenance grant/Special support grant will be considered for an RVC bursary. The RVC Bursary Scheme will be available to students for each year of undergraduate study.

How do I apply for the RVC Bursary?
There is no direct application to the RVC for bursaries. When making your application for Student Finance you can give your consent to share application details with the College and we can then use that information to assess bursary entitlements.
How will the Bursary be paid to the students?
Payments of bursaries are usually in March via BACS transfer into your own bank account, please note the bank account details are collected and maintained as part of the student support Student Finance application process.
