Additional Requirements
At SOAS we wish to support all students to fulfill their potential. The SOAS Bursary offers additional financial support for students with the greatest financial need.
Eligibility criteria
- You must enrol on to a first year of a full-time undergraduate/foundation degree course at SOAS which commenced in 2023/24
- You must ordinarily be a resident in England and a Home student for fee purposes.
- You must be a new student and should not already hold a first degree or higher qualification
- You can only be made eligible for the bursary if you have been income assessed by Student Finance and have a household income of £25,000 or less even if you do not intend to take up the maintenance loan.

Priority will be given to the following groups:
- students with experience of care
- students from lowest participation neighbourhoods (Polar Quintile 1)
- students with the lowest household income (students with a household income closer to £0 will be allocated in preference to £24,999 for example)

How to Apply
You will not need to make an application for the SOAS Bursary. Once you have applied to study an undergraduate course at SOAS, you should make an application for student finance. Provided you and your parents/guardians have consented to share your information on your Student Finance application we will assess you automatically based on your household income. This will allow us to view your details on a portal at the Student Finance website. The portal will only provide the information we need to assess your entitlement to an Award.
