personal statement covering why you would like to apply for this programme and your future career aspirations

Priority for support of up to £10,000 per annum will be given to suitable applicants who:
are unable to access funding through UK Student Finance due to their immigration status
are resident within the county of Gloucestershire at the time of application.
If there are no suitable applicants who are not eligible for UK Student Finance, then applications from those whose immigration status does entitle them to UK Student Finance will be considered (e.g. applicants with Refugee status). In such instances, a tuition fee waiver and support of up to £3,000 per annum may be awarded. Priority for this form of support would be given to suitable applicants:
whose individual circumstances may otherwise prevent them from accessing higher education
are resident within the county of Gloucestershire at the time of application.
