Student bursary scheme

Our Bursary scheme helps final year students experiencing financial difficulty due to an ongoing adversity. Read on for more information on who is eligible and how to apply.

What is the Pharmacist Support Student Bursary Scheme?

Pharmacist Support launched the Student Bursary scheme in 2013. It exists to help 3rd year pharmacy students (4th year if doing a sandwich degree) going into their final year of study who are facing unexpected financial difficulty due to an unforeseen adversity. The bursary awards are for £3,000 or £5,000.

When can I apply?

The 2024 Bursary Scheme has now closed and we are unable to accept any further requests for applications.  The next Bursary Scheme will be launched early 2025 and students who will be entering their final year in 2025/26 will be eligible to apply.

Further financial support for pharmacy students

The charity does also provide a student hardship grant. Any student enrolled on an MPharm degree course and experiencing unexpected financial difficulty is eligible to apply for the grant during the academic year.
