Additional Requirements
Estranged students who enrol at Kingston University and have been assessed as 'home' for fee purposes are eligible to receive a non-repayable KU Cares bursary of £1500 per progressive year of study, as well as priority for the Kingston Bursary if all the criteria are met. Estranged Students are given priority for a place in halls and access to 365-day accommodation is available on request. We can also provide support if you wish to live in private accommodation and signpost you to appropriate services for comprehensive housing advice. We support estranged students at graduation, by providing free gown hire, a photography package and 2 guest tickets. We award a £1,000 graduation bursary upon successful completion of your degree and following an 'outduction' meeting with the KU Cares team.
To be eligible for support as an estranged student, you will need to be:
25 or under at the time of enrolment
A 'home' student
Enrolled on an undergraduate course or a PGCE
Eligible for the full maintenance loan from Student Finance.
How to Apply
If you meet the eligibility requirements, you will need to provide us with evidence that you have been estranged from both parents for a significant amount of time. This evidence can be in the form of a letter from a professional person that can confirm that you have no contact with your family, e.g., a teacher, lawyer, doctor, counsellor/therapist, or support worker. We also accept evidence that you have been assessed as an estranged student for Student Finance purposes.
