Terms and Conditions
By submitting an application and providing supporting evidence you consent to this data being used for the administration of the UCAT bursary scheme. Where you have provided evidence that includes the data of any third party you confirm that you have obtained their consent. This data will be retained until the end of the calendar year for reporting and accounting purposes.
When UCAT results are delivered to our Consortium Universities we also indicate whether a candidate has been in receipt of a bursary. This will not disadvantage your application in any way and they may use this information to help identify candidates from backgrounds under-represented at University.
A bursary covers the cost of one sitting of the UCAT in a UK or EU test centre and a voucher number will be sent to you using the email address in your application. If you do not provide documentary evidence by the deadline you will have to pay the full test fee to sit the UCAT. You will not be entitled to receive a second bursary if you miss your scheduled test for any reason.
Please tick here to confirm you have accepted these terms and conditions.
I understand that UCAT reserves the right to request repayment of the full test fee from any candidate who fails to attend a test paid for with a bursary voucher.
