Fitzwilliam College Maintenance Bursaries

The Fitzwilliam College Maintenance Bursary is based on individual circumstances to help cover living costs.Deadline (Lent Term): 31 January 2012Deadline (Easter Term): 7 May 2012Note: the Easter Term round is only for those whose circumstances have changed substantially and unexpectedly since the Lent Term round.

Thanks to the generosity of alumni of the College and other donors, the College is able to award Maintenance Bursaries to eligible undergraduates. Awards are made according to individual circumstances, and all home and overseas undergraduates may apply. In particular, all undergraduates in receipt of a Cambridge Bursary will also receive, on application, a Fitzwilliam College Maintenance Bursary.

Students classed as 'Home' for fees purposes are expected to have taken out the maximum student loan to which they are entitled, and to have applied for a Cambridge Bursary (as above). If this is not the case, an explanation should be given.

Applications

Applicants for Fitzwilliam College Maintenance Bursaries should complete an online application form, when available, giving as much information as possible about their financial position. For UK students, a copy of the Final Financial Notification Form must be forwarded to the Head of Tutorial Office. Applicants must discuss the application with their Tutor, who will provide a signature and any additional comments.

Awards are made by the Tutorial Committee on the recommendation of the Senior Tutor, to a maximum of £500.00pa in Lent Term. If funds permit, a further application round will be held in the Easter Term, open only to undergraduates whose circumstances have changed substantially and unexpectedly since the first round.
