About grant funding

Grants, prizes and awards can help you make the most of your university experience, from bringing ideas to life and undertaking research to accessing financial support and recognising your achievements.

This type of funding is generally a one-off payment, and can be paid to an individual student, a group or club.

The application process and deadlines vary, so you'll need to check the details for the grant you're interested in.
