George Major Bursaries

George Major Bursaries aims to provide bursaries for students with life limiting-illnesses.

Bursary Amount

The bursary is a set amount of £1,000 paid to eligible students.

Selection Criteria

Applicants must provide evidence of a life-limiting (shortening) condition; a life limiting condition is an incurable condition that will shorten a person's life, though they may continue to live an active life for many years.

This can be either:

• Evidence from the applicant’s medical practitioner, or
• Evidence from the Student Wellbeing Centre, providing we already hold the appropriate evidence from the applicant’s medical practitioner.

Students must be enrolled on a Student Information System on a full-time or part-time University of Lincoln undergraduate programme; a postgraduate taught programme; or a postgraduate research programme. Students must have a student status of Home on the Student Information System.

You can also find out more about how we support students from underrepresented backgrounds on our Equality of Opportunity webpage.
