The scholarship is worth £1,000 paid in three instalments across your first year of study to support you as you make the move from school or college.
You could be eligible for an accelerate offer and Scholarship if you are either:
At a school or college that we are working with to support you in applying to university.

our Accelerate progressive programme
our Into University centre in Kingstanding
one of the summer schools we host at BCU
another formal connection you have with us prior to your application.
