PCMD National Bursary Scheme
At PCMD we operate a national bursary scheme that's open to all students applying to PCMD from anywhere in the UK. Eligibility for national bursaries is based on the household income means test that the assessing body conducts when you apply for funding.

All students coming from households with income levels assessed to be below £35,000 are guaranteed some financial help in the form of a national bursary. The value of each bursary ranges from £750 to £1,500 per year, with the highest-level bursaries going to those students from the lowest household income bracket. Under PCMD's national bursary scheme, the value of bursaries relates to household income as follows:
