Scholarships and discounts
We appreciate the investment students make in their education.
To help with the financial responsibility of students, we offer a range of scholarships as well as an Access to Learning Fund (also known as the Hardship Fund).
The University of Worcester is actively working to create more scholarship and prize opportunities, so please revisit this page for further updates.
£1,000 Academic Achievement Scholarships
The University awards scholarships of £1,000 to eligible undergraduate students in their second and third year of a degree course or second year of a Foundation degree on the basis of their academic achievement in the previous academic year at the University. Students do not apply for these scholarships as they are awarded to eligible students who achieve 120 credits at Grade A- or higher during the 23/24 academic year.
Sports Scholarships
If you have an outstanding record of achievement in a particular sport and want to combine this talent with study at a university with a proven reputation, then you may be eligible for a sports scholarship at Worcester. Our sports scholarships and bursaries represent a very special partnership with some of the region’s top sports teams, including Worcestershire County Cricket Club (WCCC), Worcester Hockey Club and Worcester Wolves Basketball Club.
