Up to 200 bursaries a year are available to cover the cost of gown hire. Costs range from £45 to £58.

This bursary is funded by the generosity of our graduation gown supplier, Ede & Ravenscroft.

Eligibility

You can apply if you:

• find the cost of hiring a gown is a barrier to attending your graduation ceremony
• are about to graduate following completion of an undergraduate or postgraduate course
• have been invited to a graduation ceremony in Bristol.

Read the terms and conditions for full eligibility criteria.

How to apply

We will open the application form for future ceremonies later in the year.

Deadline

Applications for the July-August 2024 ceremonies closed on Thursday 27 June 2024.

We will release the deadlines for future ceremonies later in the year.

Assessment process

The Student Money Advice and Funding Team will assess your eligibility based on previous financial support you have received. Priority will be given to students who have previously received financial support from the University.

For the past four congregations, we accepted 1 in 3 applications. We will rank eligible applicants as outlined in the terms and conditions.
