This may include applicants who feel that they cannot meet the criteria due to a Protected Characteristic as defined by the Equality Act 2010.
Please be aware that appeals are most likely to be successful in cases where applicants have extenuating circumstances.
Appeals are considered by the Appeals Decision Maker, who is independent of the administration of University Scholarships and Bursaries which is undertaken by the Student Money Advice Team.
Please see individual scholarships pages for further information.
The Process:
- Make your appeal by email to [email protected] with the subject line ‘Scholarship / Bursary Appeal.'
- Once received, your appeal will be passed to the Appeals Decision Maker who will consider your case.
- If the Appeals Decision Maker requires any further details/evidence then The Student Money Advice Team will contact the applicant for this information.
- This may include a request from the Appeals Decision Maker for additional evidence to support the appeal and in some cases to gather the evidence which may be from external third parties.
- Once an appeal and all additional requested information have been received a decision will normally be communicated to the applicant within 20 working days.
Please note that this is the final decision by the Appeals Decision Maker regarding the appeal.
