(Katharine) The University of Sunderland offers a variety of scholarships.
We have a variety of scholarships which can include cash, fee reductions,
free accommodation or unlimited travel.
We have two types of scholarships, we have automatically awarded scholarships.
So you don't have to make an application, once you enrol here as a student.
We'll assess your eligibility and automatically award them to you.
We also have discretionary scholarships, here at the University of Sunderland.
They do require an application form and if we think that you may be eligible for one of them,
we'll contact you and let you know.
The Get There Scholarship, offers free unlimited travel around Tyne and Wear
or the Northeast region depending on your term time address.
Alternatively you could get an accommodation discount, which is £600.
That will be applied to you in your second instalment,
if you live in our University- managed accommodation.
In the main, the Get There Scholarship is for any new full-time home or EU undergraduate students

The Studyplus Scholarship is a personal fund.
You can go on to our Studyplus online store,
and purchase essential study equipment for your course.
The amount that you receive, will depend upon the program that you are studying here at the University.

Again it is dependent on your program but any new undergraduate student will receive Studyplus.
