What Scholarships and Bursaries Are Available at the University of Greenwich?

The University of Greenwich offers scholarships and bursaries that include a £4,000 Commuter Bursary and an International Scholarships Award, among others. These are listed on the university's own scholarships and bursaries page, which is also where you check whether you are eligible. The page does not publish the full eligibility rules or application steps, so treat the official page as the starting point rather than the final answer.

What the university says it offers

According to the university's website, its scholarships and bursaries "include a £4,000 Commuter Bursary, an International Scholarships Award and many more." That wording matters in two ways:

• The two named awards are confirmed by the source.
• "Many more" signals that the published list is not exhaustive, so the awards below are examples rather than the complete set.

The source does not state the value of the International Scholarships Award, nor the eligibility criteria, deadlines, or application process for either award.

Who the financial support is for

The university frames this support around access and belonging: it describes itself as "an ambitious community of students and academics with no limits on where you come from," and the scholarships and bursaries sit alongside that positioning. In practice, the two named awards point to two different groups:

• Commuters — students who live at home or off campus and travel in, for whom the £4,000 Commuter Bursary is the relevant named award.
• International students — the International Scholarships Award is the named route for this group.

If you fall into neither category, the "many more" awards on the university page are where to look next.

Postgraduate funding is handled separately

The university states that it offers "flexible learning options such as online and part-time study" across "150+ postgraduate courses," and directs prospective postgraduates to "learn more about fees, funding and the bursaries we offer." So if you are applying for an MA or MSc rather than an undergraduate degree, the fees-and-funding information for postgraduate study is the correct place to check, not the general scholarships page alone.

This also connects to the university's online distance-learning degrees, which are described as designed for people "balancing work, family or personal commitments." If you are studying online or part-time, confirm which funding options apply to your mode of study before assuming an award is available to you.

How to check your eligibility and apply

The source does not describe an application process, so the reliable path is:

1. Go to the University of Greenwich scholarships and bursaries page.
2. Read the entry for each award you might qualify for — the Commuter Bursary and International Scholarships Award are the two named starting points.
3. Check the eligibility conditions, since the page does not reproduce them in the summary text.
4. For postgraduate study, also check the postgraduate fees, funding and bursaries information.
5. If anything is unclear, use the university's "AskUoG!" question service, which the site lists for student queries.

What to confirm before relying on an award

The published summary confirms that these awards exist and names two of them, but it does not confirm amounts beyond the £4,000 Commuter Bursary, nor deadlines, nor whether awards are automatic or application-based. Before you factor any award into your budget, verify on the official page:

• The exact value and whether it is cash, a fee waiver, or a reimbursement.
• Whether you must apply separately or are assessed automatically.
• Any residency, household income, or study-mode conditions.
• Whether the award can be combined with other funding.

The university also notes it received Gold in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) 2023, which is about teaching quality rather than funding — worth knowing, but not a guide to what you will receive.
