UWE Bristol funds during your studies

UWE Bristol is proud to offer students some additional funding to support while they study. These funds are subject to eligibility criteria and are designed to support those students experiencing financial difficulty. We aim to provide additional support to assist students a ‘financial safety net’ but not as a main source of funding. Providing this financial support can help students focus on their studies and put money worries aside.
