Application, Selection and Notification Process
UK students do not need to submit applications to receive the above bursaries. EU students will need to submit an application to ACM directly for the income collection. Please contact studentfinance@acm.ac.uk
Applicants will be assessed and selected based on the information provided as part of their application for Student Finance on the Student Loan Portal. Therefore, confirmation of financial support will only be possible once the SLC have completed their assessment.
Successful applicants will only be eligible for one Award. In the event that your Application is eligible for more than one Award, only the bursary providing the higher financial support will be progressed.
If your Application is successful, you will be notified by email. ACM will not notify unsuccessful students. If you are notified by ACM that your Application has been successful and you have not yet accepted your offer of a place on the Course, you must do so within one week of receiving such notification. Failure to do so may result in ACM withdrawing the Award offered to you and awarding it to another applicant.
All Awards are awarded at the sole discretion of ACM and ACM’s decision shall be final. If you feel you are eligible for an award, but do not receive confirmation of an award, contact
bursaries@acm.ac.uk and provide your details and your Student Support Number and the reason why you feel you will be eligible and ACM will investigate.
Payment of your Award
If you are successful, your award funds will be released to you by ACM and paid through the SLC portal in 2023/24.
Your award will be assessed and paid in termly instalments. Your award may be reduced by any monies that you otherwise owe ACM. ACM will not be liable for technical, hardware, or software failures of any kind or lost or unavailable network connections that may limit or prohibit an application being considered for support or funding being released.
