We provide a variety of scholarships for UK and EU students through the St Mary's Scholarship Scheme.
All Bursaries for 2024/25 have been awarded and the application form is now closed, but will reopen for students starting Level 4 in 2025/26.
In accordance with St Mary’s regulations, only one scholarship can be applied per student record (except students awarded the St Mary's Cares Bursary).
Applicants who are assessed as eligible for more than one scholarship should reject one of their awards. Alternatively, student records will be adjusted at enrolment stage.
