RVC Scholarships for Undergraduates
We have a variety of scholarships, bursaries and other funding to help you with tuition fees and living expenses.
Types of funding
Our scholarships are a mixture of outstanding academic achievement and interview scores combined with personal circumstances. Our bursaries are payments to those who are or may find themselves in financial difficulties without support
- Scholarships are typically allocated based on your outstanding academic achievements or extracurricular activities.
- Bursaries are typically allocated based on personal circumstance, such as 'residual household income' – the combined income of the parent(s), guardian(s) or partner who you live with. We assess this automatically and will be in touch if you're eligible.
