Gittins Family Bursary 2025: Get £3,000 for Nursing at University of Hertfordshire

The University of Hertfordshire has announced the Gittins Family Bursaries for the 2025/26 academic year. This scholarship is specifically targeted at students enrolling in the Adult Nursing undergraduate program. It is designed to provide extra financial support to students from lower-income households.

Selected recipients will receive a total award of £3,000, distributed as £1,000 per academic year. Unlike standard scholarships, this is an invitation-based process, meaning the university identifies eligible students and invites them to apply. The typical cycle for these arrangements often aligns with the first term of study.

Scholarship Overview & Key Details

Who Is Eligible?

This bursary is highly specific. To be considered for the invitation, you must meet the following strict criteria upon commencement of your course:

• Course: You must be a first-year student enrolling in the Adult Nursing degree program.
• Nationality: You must be a UK National with 'Home' fee-paying status.
• Financial Status: Your annual household income must be below £40,000 as assessed by the University/Student Finance.
• Enrollment: You must be a full-time student.

Scholarship Benefits

The bursary provides sustained support throughout your degree, not just in the first year. Annual Payout: £1,000 per year for three years. Total Value: £3,000. Note: This amount is typically paid in installments and is separate from the government's NHS Learning Support Fund (which offers at least £5,000/year).

How to Apply

There is no public application link for this bursary. The process works as follows:

1. Enrollment: Complete your registration for the BSc Adult Nursing course.
2. Assessment: The university reviews student finance data to identify those with a household income under £40,000.
3. Invitation: Eligible students are invited to fill out a short application form.
4. Selection: A panel of academics reviews the applications to select the three winners for the year.

Deadline Information

While third-party sites may list 31 December 2025, it is crucial to note that you must wait for the official invitation from the university. Ensure your household income details are correctly updated with the Student Loans Company to trigger your eligibility.
