Additional Requirements
The Young Adult Carer Bursary is a payment of £250 available for undergraduate students with a 'Home' fee status who are recognised as Young Adult Carers. The bursary is available each year of their undergraduate degree. At the University of Hertfordshire, we use the Carers Trust definition of a Young Adult Carer: ''young people aged 16-25 who are caring, unpaid, for a family member or friend with an illness or disability, mental health condition or an addiction". To be eligible for the bursary, students must: a. be under the age of 26 on the first day of the academic semester in which they start their programme of study, according to the dates published in the University's published academic calendar b. be registered on a full-time University of Hertfordshire undergraduate course delivered directly by the University of Hertfordshire or one of its consortium colleges c. be actively studying (i.e. not in a period of dormancy or suspension of studies) d. be a 'Home' fee paying student as assessed by the University (find out more about your fee status here) e. be undertaking their first degree and f. have caring responsibilities for a family member or friend with an illness or disability, mental health condition or an addiction. This does not include caring for your own child.
How to Apply
Students will be required to complete an application form and provide third party evidence that they have caring responsibilities: a. this should be in the form of an original letter by a professional person (e.g., teacher/adviser from school/college, GP, social services, or local authority) who is not a family member or the cared for person b. this person should normally have known about the situation for a substantial amount of time and can verify that the student has caring responsibilities and for whom they care and c. the letter should be dated no more than 30 calendar days before they apply and should confirm that the students caring responsibilities are current. 6. All students who meet the eligibility criteria and provide the evidenced detailed above will be considered for the bursary. All applications will be considered on an individual basis and awarded subject to the availability of funding. 7. Students will be required to reapply for the bursary and submit evidence in each year of their undergraduate programme.
