Funding:

1. We will apply your Think Big scholarship as a discount to your tuition fees. We will adjust your fees at the time of your enrolment at the University. We do not offer a cash alternative.
   1. For undergraduate awards, we apply the tuition fee discount each year you pay full fees. This is up to a maximum of four years. We will renew your scholarship each year. This is as long as you make satisfactory progress (an average mark above 50% each year).
   2. For postgraduate awards, we apply the discount up to a maximum of one year, the first year of your studies.
2. We will not apply the tuition fee discount hduring any years not spent at the University.
   1. For example, a placement year in industry or study abroad.
3. We will not apply funding of awards during periods of suspension of studies.
4. We will review funding for repeat or supplementary study on a case-by-case basis.
5. We offer scholarships and/or bursaries based on the course stated in your award letter. We try to accommodate scholarship/bursary amendment requests for students that change course. This is not a guarantee and we will consider requests on a case-by-case basis.
6. If you receive another University of Bristol scholarship or tuition fee discount, let us know as soon as possible. You cannot combine Think Big scholarships with other University funded tuition fee discounts. We will apply either the award or discount of higher value only.
   1. The only exception is the Alumni Discount. We will apply this to your tuition fees after we have processed the Think Big scholarship.
   2. You can receive living stipends and bursaries alongside a Think Big scholarship.
7. You may receive external tuition fee funding. For example, from a scholarship body, corporate sponsor, or government. The total amount of funding, including your Think Big award, must not exceed your tuition fees. If your external award covers full tuition fees, you are not eligible for a Think Big award.
8. We pay bursary awards in the first year of study only and will not in any later years. You will need to open a UK bank account. This is the account into which we will pay your bursary funds once you have completed enrolment.
