All students are assessed for York bursaries each year. This includes the York Bursary, HYMS Bursary and Care Leaver Bursary.
A bursary is not a loan - you don't have to pay it back.
Bursary schemes can vary, depending on the year you started your studies. If you are receiving a York Bursary, Foundation Year Bursary, HYMS Bursary or Care Leaver Bursary, you can find detailed information about your scheme in the following guides:

If you are made an award, you will have received a notification email and an award letter in your e:Vision account.
In order to receive any bursary cash payment, submit your bank details using the University’s secure bank detail collection system using your University username and password. We accept both UK and overseas bank accounts and you can use the system to update your details should you change bank. Please note, this system is for bursary payments only. If you need to update your bank details for direct debit collections, please do this using the 'Your finance' section in e:Vision (see Payment methods).
If you do not submit your details, we will not be able to pay you.
Please note that not all awards include cash payments. Please refer to the guides for more details on how your bursary will be paid.
For the 2017/18 academic year, bursaries will be paid on the following dates:
Payment type |
Payment method |
Payment dates |
---|---|---|
Tuition fee waiver |
Reduction in your tuition fees |
We inform your student funding provider automatically when your award is approved and they alter your loan accordingly. |
Accommodation payment (if you're a first year student in University accommodation) |
Applied directly to your accommodation fees |
Three equal instalments reducing each accommodation fee charge on: Friday 13 October 2017 For example, if you owe £1,800 for a term's rent and are going to receive an accommodation payment of £500 then you will only need to pay £1,300 that term. If you pay your accommodation fees by direct debit, the fees minus the bursary will automatically be taken from your account, and will stop you from accidentally overpaying. |
Cash payment |
Payment direct to your bank account |
Friday 27 October 2017 |
We cannot discuss a case with anyone other than you. If you want someone else (including parents or carers) to discuss your bursary on your behalf, you will need to give the Student Financial Support Unit written permission. Please note we cannot disclose any detailed household income information to anyone.
