Applicant Day Travel Expenses
Claim between £10 and £30 depending on the distance you are travelling (not means-tested).
We know that rising costs are affecting lots of people at the moment, so we’re offering a contribution towards your travel costs if you are attending an Applicant Day.
We also offer a travel bursary to support individuals who have specific characteristics typically underrepresented in HE.
Support available
We are able to provide a contribution of either £10, £20 or £30 towards your travel costs, depending on the distance you are travelling to the Applicant Day.
