The Durham Grant is a non-repayable bursary for home undergraduate and PGCE students who do not already have an undergraduate degree and whose household income is below a specific threshold as assessed by Student Finance England (or equivalent).
You get your Durham Grant as well as your government funding and you don't have to pay it back.
You can get a Durham Grant in every year of your studies, provided that your household income remains below the eligibility threshold (your household income is reassessed by Student Finance England or equivalent every year). This includes years abroad and placement years.
In response to the rising cost of living, the University has invested significantly in the Durham Grant Scheme for 2024/25, increasing it by 6.7% from 2023/24.
Durham Grant Amounts by Household Income
You do not have to apply for a Durham Grant. If we have your household income and if you are eligible we will e-mail your Durham University e-mail address.
If you are awarded a Durham Grant you will be paid in three termly instalments.
Current students can find further information about the Durham Grant Scheme here.
