Eligibility

To ensure we provide support to offer holders from underrepresented backgrounds, we use contextual information from the UCAS application as a part of the awarding process. The following information is considered:

• Whether the applicant is from a low participation neighbourhood, using HEFCE POLAR 4 and Index of Multiple Deprivation data.
• Whether the applicant is a care leaver (this must have been declared on the UCAS application to be considered).
• Whether the applicant has received Free School Meals (this must have been declared on the UCAS application to be considered).
• Whether the applicant is a refugee (this must have been declared on the UCAS application to be considered).
• Whether the applicant has a disability (this must have been declared on the UCAS application to be considered).
• Whether the applicant is the first in their family to attend Higher Education, not including siblings (this must have been declared on the UCAS application to be considered).
• Whether the applicant has attended a school/college at level 2 and at level 3 that the RVC has determined is a contextual school.

Priority is given to those meeting multiple contextual markers. This data is combined with your score from the interview process and the scholarship will be offered to the candidate with the highest combined score once all offers have been processed and before the UCAS decision deadline, usually in May.
