Get There Campus Scholarship 2013/14

Free travel across Tyne and Wear (or £500 discount on University accommodation).

The Sunderland Get There Campus Scholarship provides free unlimited travel within Tyne and Wear for 12 months.

You can travel for free across the whole of the Nexus Metro system, the Shields Ferry, Arriva, Go North East and Stagecoach buses and on Northern rail services between Sunderland and Blaydon.

If you don’t want the free travel pass you can choose to have a £500 discount on your first year of University-managed accommodation.

Everyone who meets the eligibility criteria will automatically receive this scholarship - you do not have to apply for it.

If you are eligible for the scholarship, you will automatically receive the travel pass. If you would prefer the accommodation discount you need to tell the accommodation team when you book your University-managed accommodation.

If you would prefer the accommodation discount instead of the travel pass, you need to tell the Accommodation Team when you book your University-managed accommodation.

 

When to collect your travel pass

If you are studying on-campus at Sunderland then you can collect your travel pass during Registration, in September 2013.

If you are studying off-campus then you will receive your travel pass from your college at a later date.
