Bursaries and scholarships
Ruskin offers the following funding support:
Aspire Bursary
As part of the University of West London group, Ruskin undergraduate degree students doing a course of 60 credits or more with a £9,250 tuition fee are entitled to the Aspire Bursary.
The bursary is split into free books that are given to undergraduate students in their first year of study, and funds that undergraduate students receive at different stages in their study.
UWL's Aspire bursary is not a loan and you do not have to pay it back. The books and funds are provided for you to help with the extra studying costs. It does not add to your student debt.
Ruskin College Sanctuary Scholarship
The Sanctuary Scholarship will support one student who is seeking sanctuary in the UK to undertake an undergraduate degree course at Ruskin College.
The Scholarship offers:
