Help from Harper Adams
We offer an ever-increasing range of scholarships, which are all cash awards and do not have to be paid back.
Means Tested Scholarship
All new students commencing studies on the first year of an undergraduate programme in the academic year 2012/13, will be awarded an annual non-repayable scholarship of £1,000 provided that they have a household income of £25,000 or less and are not in receipt of a National Scholarship Programme (NSP) award.
Scholarships will be paid to students, by cheque or BACS, in two equal instalments. The first payment will be made in February and the second payment in May.
If you receive a scholarship in the first year of study, you will continue to receive a scholarship for the remaining years of study at Harper Adams University College, provided that you remain registered on a full time/sandwich course and continue to meet the criteria for the award of a scholarship. Students will not normally be eligible for a scholarship during the sandwich placement year.
Please note that your household income must be verified by Student Finance and you must also give your consent to share your financial information with the University College. In addition, you must also be means tested for student finance purposes.
Students in receipt of a means tested scholarship can also apply, if eligible, for the Harper Adams family scholarship. Students are not eligible, however, to receive both a means tested scholarship and NSP award.
Family Scholarship
In the academic year 2012/13, any new student admitted to a full time undergraduate programme who has a brother or sister also currently registered on a full time programme with the University College will be entitled to a £500 reduction in the cost of on-campus residential accommodation or to a £500 fee waiver if resident in off-campus accommodation.
The scholarship will be awarded upon receipt of evidence confirming the brother/sister relationship (for example, copy of a birth certificate) and notification of the brother/sister being registered on a full time programme with the University College in 2012/13 (for example, student ID number). The scholarship must be claimed within three months of registration with the University College in 2012/13.
Industry Scholarships
Harper Adams has forged an excellent reputation with industry and our graduates are highly sought after in the market place. Consequently, we are able to offer an ever-increasing number of scholarships from the private sector. We also have a growing number of subject-specific scholarships which are offered on a competitive basis. Once you enrol at the university college see your course manager or the Development Trust Officer for further details.
Development Trust Scholarships
The Principal, Independent Trustees and Alumni (former students) have formed an exciting new organisation called The Development Trust. One of its main goals is to help students financially through a range of scholarships.
