Financial Assistance

Money

Students can often have challenges managing money: this may be because it’s the first time they have had to budget for themselves, or their income might not meet their living costs.

The team of Welfare Advisers in the Advice and Counselling Service provide confidential, professional money advice for all Queen Mary students, including prospective students and applicants. They can check if students are getting all of the income they are eligible for, check Student Finance eligibility and help with applications, assist with funding for repeat periods of study, help students plan a personal budget, and apply for hardship funding.  

They can also advise students who need to leave their family home unexpectedly and need emergency financial support, and students who are independent of their family such as care experienced or estranged students, or who have a forced migration background. Students with a disability or long term ill health, and students with children may be eligible for additional funding. There is separate financial guidance for international students.

Students can access self-help guidance on the website and if they need one to one advice they can email via the contact us webform for advice or book a confidential appointment via the Advice and Counselling Service website.

Fees and Funding

Home undergraduate students are generally entitled to tuition fee loans and maintenance loans.

Financial Assistance Fund

The Financial Assistance Fund is available to help any Queen Mary student that is fully enrolled and eligible for funding with unforeseen costs and hardship.

Queen Mary Bursary

For undergraduate students there is a main Queen Mary Bursary Scheme which is income assessed and non-repayable. Students don’t need to apply for it – they just need to apply to their regional student funding authority for income assessed UK government financial support, and be income assessed in order for the Queen Mary Bursaries Office to assess them for the Bursary. 

Undergraduate Scholarships

There are scholarships and bursaries for undergraduate students starting a course at Queen Mary University of London in September 2021 and are in addition to the Queen Mary Bursary.

More information on these opportunities and other funding is available.
