ENU Care Experienced Bursary
As corporate parents, the university understands the need to support care experienced students during their course of study and award the Edinburgh Napier University Care Experienced Bursary to eligible students to help them get the most from their academic journey.
Value of bursary
A one off payment for the year of £1000 is available for all students, this money can be used however the student chooses to assist them during their studies.
How else can we help?
This is just one form of support available to you if you are care experienced.
Students receiving this award can also choose to be assigned to a named adviser who can assist with identifying other funding sources; both internal and external and with completing funding applications.
Am I care experienced?
The term "Care Experienced" refers to anyone who is currently in care or has been for any length of time, regardless of their age. This care can be provided in many different settings, such as:
- Kinship Care - Living with a relative who is not your mum or dad
- Looked After At Home - With the help of social work
- Residential Care - Living in a residential home or school
- Foster Care - Living with foster carers
- Secure Care - Living in a secure accommodation
- Adoption - Living with adoptive parents
All care-experienced students are eligible for this bursary if they:
- Are a currently registered UK student at Edinburgh Napier University, studying up to and including Taught Postgraduate level
