Over 1,000 scholarships are available to undergraduate students joining London Metropolitan University in September 2013.
Students will receive £1,000 cash in their first year and fee waivers worth £1,000 for the remaining two years of their degree as part of the National Scholarship Programme.
There are 1,030 scholarships available, a testament to London Met’s commitment to providing affordable quality education in the heart of the capital. The University has already made efforts to keep its fees among the lowest the UK, and the latest scholarship programme reinforces this commitment to students.
Last year London Met offered 188 scholarships to new undergraduates, but this year, after listening to student feedback, the structure of the bursaries has changed and the number on offer has increased.
Sophie Cloutterbuck, Schools & Colleges Partnership Manager in London Met’s Widening Participation team, said: “We are delighted to be able to offer so many more scholarships this year, compared with those available last year. We have listened to students who told us that they would benefit from a cash bursary, and so that’s exactly what these scholarships will provide.
“A recent study by the National Union of Students shows that half of students who consider leaving university do so due to financial difficulty. These scholarships will help our students with those unexpected costs of university life, and we hope that they will make a real difference to students at London Met.”
The scholarships are available to undergraduates joining London Metropolitan University in autumn 2013.
