Common use of Financial Support for Students Clause in Contracts

Financial Support for Students. In response to the regulatory authority’s advice on the subject, the university will conduct an investigation into the effectiveness of its scholarships and bursaries, and will prepare to adjust its policy on scholarships in future years as a result. The university is mindful of the challenges students face after the loss of the maintenance grant – accessed by an average of 25% of St Mary’s students when it was in effect – as well as possible changes to the Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) and so will maintain our general Hardship Fund support at £200k for 2018/19 in order to best help students who most need specific financial support whilst studying with us. As well as this, by 2018/19 we will have greatly increased the capacity for which we can help Care Leavers and Estranged students with this fund, enhancing our care and outreach to students studying with us, so that we may help them in any way we can. In relation to financial support, we have listened to student opinion and are therefore offering fewer fee waivers and more payments directly to them as part of their scholarships and bursaries. The emphasis of our financial support remains to provide the greatest benefit to the highest number of students whilst continuing to provide targeted support to other students such as Care Leavers, those identified through our outreach programme, and students from Catholic schools in line with our Catholic ethos, mission and values. The financial support that is counted in our agreement is specifically targeted at under-represented and disadvantaged groups in Catholic Schools.

Students living in University accommodation will receive the award as a discount on the subjectcost of accommodation in their first year of study. Students living at home or in rented accommodation will receive a cash bursary. The University will also run a Surrey Bursary scheme which will target financial support to students with a household income of £25,000 or less for all subsequent years of study, except for the university professional training year and re-sit years. The award of £3,000 will conduct an investigation into be paid as a cash bursary in all years, except for the effectiveness professional training year and re-sit years. The University extended the Surrey Bursary Scheme to new students on nursing, midwifery and allied health profession courses from 2017-18. The University has a strong record in providing targeted bursaries. The cost of its scholarships and bursariesUniversity should not be a disincentive for talented young people who are considering applying to university, and our package of financial support measures will prepare to adjust its policy on scholarships in future years as a resultensure that talent and potential are the only factors that dictate attendance at the University and that those students are not disadvantaged by personal financial circumstances. The university is mindful of the challenges University has introduced Asylum Seeker Bursaries for 2017/18 entry for students face after the loss of the maintenance grant – accessed by an average of 25% of St Mary’s students when it was in effect – as well as possible changes who are asylum seekers or who hold Discretionary Leave to the Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) and so will maintain our general Hardship Fund support at £200k for 2018/19 Remain, in order to best help students who most need specific financial support whilst studying with us. As well as this, by 2018/19 we will have greatly increased the capacity for which we can help Care Leavers and Estranged these students with this fund, enhancing our care and outreach to students studying with us, so that we may help them in any way we cangreater access routes into the University. In relation to financial support, we have listened to student opinion and are therefore offering fewer fee waivers and more payments directly to them as part of their scholarships and bursaries. The emphasis of our financial support remains to provide the greatest benefit to the highest number of students whilst continuing to provide targeted support to other students such as Care Leavers, those identified through our outreach programme, and students from Catholic schools in line with our Catholic ethos, mission and values. The financial support that is counted in our agreement is specifically targeted at under-represented and disadvantaged groups in Catholic Schools. S t Mary’s Scholarships Up to 50 Scholarships of £6,000 awarded as cash or fee waivers over 3 years to students who meet the following criteria: Successful applicants will be awarded the following:  Year 1: £3,000 as a cash award and/or tuition fee/accommodation fee waiver  Year 2: £2,000 as a cash award/partial tuition fee waiver  Year 3: that will cover the difference between the UK/EU tuition fee and the Overseas fee charged and a maintenance bursary of up to £1,000 1,500 to help towards set up costs, books, and travel. Evaluating the Impact of Financial Support Research with our applicants has consistently shown financial support to rank relatively low down in their decision making, particularly when choosing between Surrey and another institution, however for a small proportion of applicants it is a major factor. On this basis we seek to set conditions and awards that are meaningful and targeted. Our proposed financial support scheme is a result of this optimisation. Furthermore, demographic analysis informed us that household income alone was not a reliable measure to identify students from households with a low propensity to attend HE, so POLAR was added as a cash award/tuition fee waiver Successful applicants studying on criteria . In March 2016, a part-time course will receive a cash award on a pro-rata basis calculated according short optional survey was disseminated to their FTE. For example students undertaking 60 credits of an undergraduate degree with a tuition fee liability of £4,500 would be eligible for an award of £1,500 at Xxxxx 0, £1,000 at Level 2 and £500 at Level 3. To be eligible to apply for a St Mary’s Scholarship students must:  have an assessed annual household income below £25,000, and  have been offered a place on a full-time or part-time (minimum intensity of 25% of full-time degree) undergraduate degree course or foundation degree course, and  be ordinarily resident in the UK or the EU at the start of their course, and  have completed an Application for Student Support through the relevant awarding authority and agree that their financial information can be shared with St Mary’s University, and  not be all second year undergraduates who were in receipt of full or part payment the Surrey Bursary Scheme in 2014/15. The same survey was repeated in December 2016 and was targeted towards current second year undergraduates who were in receipt of fees through the Surrey Bursary Scheme in 2015/16. In March 2016, 24% of the 640 eligible students completed the survey and in December 2016, 48% of the 252 eligible students completed the survey. A number of findings came out of the surveys:  Receiving financial support disproportionately affects students from low participation neighbourhoods: Across both surveys 14% of students “would have attended another university” if no financial support was available. However, this figure rises to 64% for students from POLAR quintiles 1 and 2.  67% of students stated that receiving a sponsorship arrangementbursary meant that they were less worried about building up debt.  Since the bursaries have become more targeted for 2015/16, the impact on an individual’s sense of belonging has increased to 64% from 48%.  68% of respondents also said that they were able to dedicate more time to their studies and the number of students in receipt of a bursary who have successfully completed FHEQ level 4 is the same as the institutional average for 2015/16 We are keen to gain further insight into the impact of our financial support, particularly on the attainment, retention, and  success. Therefore, we are intending to apply further robust evaluation in this field and plan to use the statistical model and toolkit developed by Sheffield Hallam University to analyse the impact of financial support on our student body. The aim of undertaking this research will be entrants new to higher education ensure that our bursaries are correctly targeted and allocated and to provide us with the opportunity to refine and/or develop our bursary offer for 2019/20. Approach to Widening Access Activity The Department of WP and Outreach delivers an important dimension of the University’s work in 2018raising aspirations and attainment for students from a range of backgrounds, particularly those from groups currently under-represented in Higher Education.
