Entrance Scholarship Winners 2009
Students at Aberystwyth University
21 May 2009
Aberystwyth University has the broadest range of Bursaries, Entrance Scholarships and Awards available at any British university. The awards provide a valuable structure of financial support to ensure that students of all backgrounds can enjoy the benefits of Higher Education.
The awards are not just financial. Winning an Entrance Scholarship or Merit Award, or being awarded an Excellence, Sports or Music Bursary are extremely prestigious and a valuable addition to a person's CV.
Excellence Bursaries, worth £2,000 for 3 year courses (£2,667 – 4 years, £3,334 - 5 years and £1,400 for Foundation Degrees), are available to all UK/EU students who enrol at Aberystwyth in specific subject areas. The aim of these Excellence Bursaries is to reward academic achievement prior to university entry.
Entrance Scholarships, worth up to £3,600 over 3 years - about 50 Entrance Scholarships and some 200 Merit Awards are available each year. These awards are based on performance in examinations held in early February of the year of entry to the University.
Aberystwyth Bursaries assist full-time undergraduate students from lower income families from all parts of the United Kingdom and the European Union.
Aberystwyth also offers: Residential Bursary - £500 discount for the first year in University residences; Sports Bursary - £500 per annum for the duration of your studies; Music Bursary - £1,200 over 3 years; Care Leaver Bursary – worth up to £5,400 over 3 years.
Professor Noel Lloyd, Vice-Chancellor of Aberystwyth University said:
“Aberystwyth University has a long and distinguished history of providing financial support to its students through scholarships. It is pleasing that this year again competition for entrance scholarships has been keen and I congratulate those who have been successful. I would also like to take this opportunity to wish them and everyone who entered the competition every success in the forthcoming summer examinations.”
