Scholarships and funding

At GCU London, we believe education is for everyone – regardless of your financial circumstances. Discover a range of funded scholarships, bursaries toward study costs, tuition fee reductions and discounts and loyalty rewards that help keep the cost of studying in one of the UK's most exciting cities within reach.

Glasgow Caledonian University Foundation’s founding donor, Sir Alex Ferguson's philosophy is "If you provide opportunities to young people, you will be amazed at what they can achieve."

More information about the work of the foundation and the talented students who have benefitted from its support is available on our website.

Eligibility and requirements

To have your scholarship application considered, you must have submitted an application for a place on a course at GCU London.

In addition to meeting the course's academic requirements, each scholarship has different eligibility criteria. Some are course-specific or depend on the country where you are normally resident. Please read the eligibility criteria carefully and only apply for suitable scholarships.

Those receiving a scholarship may be expected to undertake certain conditions by the funder, such as meeting with the donor and/or submitting a report on their experience as a scholar.
