University of Sunderland Scholarships
The University of Sunderland is investing over £10 million in financial support for 'home' and EU students joining us in 2013, and we have a number of generous scholarship packages for new undergraduate students.
A scholarship - also know as a bursary - is financial support that you don't have to pay back. It is not a loan, which you do have to pay back.
To help you see what scholarships you could be entitled to, try our scholarships calculator - just spend 30 seconds filling in some information about you and the course you want to study, and you'll see the total amount you could receive.
