You must upload all evidence to your MyFunding account. MyFunding will ask for the evidence we need.
You must upload your evidence even if it’s not in English and include any translated versions you have.
If you’re unable to provide evidence we need, you must upload a cover letter explaining why you cannot provide it.
Income evidence
On the postgraduate bursary application form we ask you to estimate your unearned income for the coming academic year.
If you cannot provide relevant evidence at the time of your application, we'll assess your award provisionally and hold your third payment. We’ll ask you later in the year for this evidence and will release your third payment once we’ve received, assessed, and approved it.
When you apply, you must declare any unearned income. You must only upload evidence if it's more than £1,000.
The bursary application form details what evidence we can accept as you’re completing your application.
