If you are starting an undergraduate degree in September 2014 or January 2015, you may be entitled to £1,000 cash in your first year and a fee waiver worth £1,000, followed by a further £1,000 cash in your second year.
As part of the National Scholarship Programme, London Met is offering 898 NSP scholarships to help relieve the pressure of financing your degree.
The £2,000 cash award, provided to aid your studies, can be used for essentials such as books, travel, childcare and technology, while the fee waiver will reduce your tuition fees by £1,000.
Jointly funded by the government and the University, the scholarships are available to students from low-income backgrounds.
