The QUEEN'S BURSARY is paid directly to an eligible student's bank account in one instalment, normally by February. Students will receive a letter, notifying them that they are eligible, prior to payment of the award in February.

The entitlement of full-time NI/GB undergraduate and PGCE students to the Queen’s Bursary is assessed on the basis of household income and payment of fees of £4,530/ £9,000/£9,250.

The Queen’s Bursary is also available, on a pro-rata basis, to eligible compulsory "year out" students.

Queen's Bursary Payment Regulations

• The bursary will be paid in mid February on the basis of a student’s verified household income.
• Bursary payments, as a result of a household income reassessment by the Education Authority, whether favourable or otherwise, will be adjusted for the current academic year only.
• If a student is suspended for any reason, he/she will not be paid a bursary while the suspension is in place.  Any bursary entitlement for the year will be awarded when outstanding tuition fees are paid and the suspension has been lifted.
