In order to keep postgraduate studies - and, by extension, an increasing number of professions - open to all students regardless of their background, financial support is key. It’s therefore great to see that the University are putting hard work (and cold cash!) into tackling this problem here at Warwick. As part of HEFCE’s Postgraduate Support Scheme, the University has just announced an extra £600,000 of bursaries for students applying to study a taught Masters degree at Warwick. The Warwick Taught Masters Scholarship scheme will cover the full cost of tuition fees (or pay £7,050 towards them) and will be accompanied by a non-repayable bursary of £4000. This is incredible news, and the Union has been working with the University to ensure that this cash reaches the students who need it the most. SU Postgraduate Officer Lucy Gill blogs on the new financial support pool available to students from lower-income backgrounds wanting to take part in further study: warwicksu/blogs/blog/lucygill/2014/04/24/The-Warwick-Masters-Scholarship-Scheme-Good-news/
