There is no need to apply as you should automatically receive the bursary if you meet the eligibility criteria, providing you have completed an income assessment as part of your student finance application, and given consent to share this information.
Your bursary payments will be loaded onto a pre-paid card. The money will be made available to you in nine instalments from October to June each year. If the first payment is made after the start of term due to late assessment, the first payment will include any back payment and will be followed by the remaining instalments. You can only spend money that's in your account, so you can't go overdrawn, and you can receive up to 2% cashback on purchases at certain retailers.
