Bursaries & Scholarships
Money should never be a barrier to getting into medical school. Alongside our free resources, sessions, and advice, we’re currently working hard to offer as many bursaries as we can for our courses. We encourage anyone who would like to attend our courses, but is unable to due to financial hardships, to apply for a bursary. Due to high demand, we do our absolute best to allocate bursaries fairly, distributing higher amounts to students who are in greater need. However, we don’t have unlimited bursaries, so we may not always be able to accommodate requests. Please only apply for the amount that you need due to the limited nature of our bursaries.
APPLYING FOR A BURSARY
If you’re a student who could use financial support in paying for a course, we encourage you to fill out the application form below. Ideally, we’d like to see that you’re working hard towards your goals, are predicted the grades needed, and have some sort of financial hardship preventing you from being able to pay for our course(s) in full. You can apply for a partial bursary (10-90%) to cover part of the cost, or a full bursary to cover the whole cost. We may ask for evidence of your financial situation.
Applications are generally processed within 7 working days. You will be contacted via email.

BAME SCHOLARSHIP
The UK has a large BAME population, but only a small minority of medical students are from BAME backgrounds. There are various factors leading to this disparity, some of those being:
- Low-income backgrounds, thus less opportunities for higher education.
- Underfunded schools leading to reduced opportunities to meet the grade requirements and a lack of support with medical school applications.
- First generation in family to apply for university, thus increased difficulties in the application process as compared to applicants with larger support groups.
- Lack of funding for courses and resources designed to help get into medical school.
- Reduced awareness of the medical school application process.
- Racism embedded in society and in the NHS in particular. This can discourage students from applying, and can also lead to lower acceptance rates of qualified individuals.
- Under-predicted grades, as evidenced in 2011 by the Government Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. They found that only 39.1% of black applicants had accurate A-level predictions, compared to their white counterparts who had 53% accuracy.
For these reasons, we are now offering a full scholarship available to students from BAME backgrounds. We are currently able to offer this to 10 students, and hope to grow this number. This scholarship will include:
1. UCAT
A free place on our UCAT Masterclass
A free copy of our UCAT eBook
2. Personal Statement
A free place on our Personal Statement Masterclass
A free Personal Statement Planner
A free personal statement review
3. Interviews
A free place on our Interview Masterclass
A free copy of our Interview eBook
4. BMAT
A free place on our BMAT Masterclass
1x Free BMAT essay marking
5. Ongoing Support
A personal mentor through the application process
Access to monthly Support & Progress meetings
We hope that this will be a huge help to students who are dedicated and have excellent work ethic, but simply lack the resources and are disadvantaged due to various factors in their lives. Because the places are very limited, all students who are interested must go through an application process.
The deadline for students applying in the 2022-2023 cycle is 07/06/2022. Successful applicants will be notified by 15/06/2022.
