What is residual household income?
Residual household income is your household's gross income minus these allowances:
- Pension contributions
- £1,130 for each financially dependent child or eligible student in the household
- If you're under 25 the household income is normally that of your parents or the parent you usually live with and their partner. If you're over 25 this would be the income of your partner.
If your residual household income is within the ranges above you could be eligible for our non-repayable York bursary, for UK students.
For 2022 entry - see our bursaries guide for current students.
Open to UK (home) students only.
The York Bursary is open to students with a 'Home' fee status. If you're unsure whether you're classed as a UK or international student for fee purposes, check your fee status.
In order to be eligible for the York Bursary, you must:
- be a UK resident
- have a residual household taxable gross income of £35,000 or less (including pensions)
- be studying full-time at the University in 2022/23 and be paying the UK fee rate
- be registered on an undergraduate degree course
- Social Work students will only be considered for the York Bursary in years when they do not receive the NHS Social Work Bursary
We will automatically assess your eligibility based on your residual household income using the information supplied in your application for Student Loans.
If you or your parents withhold your consent to share financial information on your Student Loans application, we will not be able to confirm your eligibility for the bursary.
Eligible students will be informed by the end of October 2022.
A letter informing you of your bursary award will be made available via e:Vision. If you were expecting a bursary and have not received this letter on e:Vision by 5pm on 1 November 2022, please email sfsu@york.ac.uk from your University email quoting your nine digit student reference number.
The cut-off date for receiving 2022/23 awards is 30 June 2023.
If you live on campus during your first year of your studies, the bursary will be paid directly to Accommodation Services. Before making your accommodation payment, you will need to subtract the bursary amount to avoid an overpayment.
If you live in private sector accommodation, the bursary will be paid directly into your bank account in three instalments (usually in October, January and April).
If you’re on a study year abroad or placement year you’ll pay a reduced tuition fee and will not receive a bursary during this year.
