Lion Rock Bursary
The Lion Rock Scholarship Programme continues this year, and is the result of a generous ongoing donation from two Warwick alumni. It aims to financially assist those students who may otherwise be facing financial challenges whilst at University. The Programme will enable recipients to concentrate more fully upon their academic studies and engage with wider enrichment activities to aid a well-rounded and positive student experience.
The programme is comprised of two parts:
1) 6x £5,000 bursaries.
Applications are encouraged from all students studying on the WBS Foundation Year in 2025-26.
2) 1x full fee tuition scholarship, reviewed at the end of each academic year of study. 2024-25 Lion Rock bursary holders will be able to apply for this scholarship at the end of the Foundation Year in a separate application process. This will be a part of CoACh programme.
