The Liverpool Bursary
Around a third of the University’s UK undergraduates will benefit from the Liverpool Bursary, which can be received either as a cash bursary or taken as a fee waiver.
If you're a UK student with a household income of less than £25,000, you'll receive a Liverpool Bursary of £2,000 for each year of study. If you are a UK student with a household income between £25,001 and £35,000, you will receive a Liverpool Bursary of £750 per year.
