York Refugee Bursary
The Refugee Bursary is a non-repayable award for students who come to York and have a Refugee immigration status.
The value of the award is:
| Residual household income | Year 1 | Subsequent years |
|---|---|---|
| £0 to £25,000 | £3,000 | £2,100 |
Students with refugee status and a residual household income of £25,001 to £35,000 will be eligible for the York Bursary instead. Details of the York Bursary can be found on the Bursary webpage.
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.
For 2022 entry - see our bursaries guide for current students.
