Queen Mary and Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry bursaries

Queen Mary offers student bursaries to help with the costs of higher education. 

These bursaries are aimed at students from lower income households.

The amount of the bursary you receive each year will depend on your household income which is assessed during your application for UK Government Financial Support.

Please note that all international students and those EU nationals who are only eligible for a tuition fee loan will not be eligible for a Queen Mary bursary.

Candidates must also meet other specific eligibility criteria regarding age and means of support.

The Edith Cavell and Samuel Gee intercalated scholarships

The Trust also awards three intercalated degree bursaries in oral health and social care awarded annually with a value of £5,000 each. Again, nomination is by the SMD. 

The Dean’s Benevolence Fund Transition Loan scheme

The Trust has donated a substantial grant to support the Dean’s Benevolence Transition Loan scheme.  This interest-free loan is to help medical and dental students who are unable to cover their basic living costs between the end of their qualifying course, and their first salary payment from their FY1 job. 

More information about sources of financial support for our students is available on our Student Support web site.

The Barts Guild Elective Grants

The Guild of the Royal Hospital of St. Bartholomew (www.bartsguild.org.uk) is a charity that has supported the patients, staff and students of St. Bartholomew’s hospital since 1911 and it continues to do this in many different ways.

These grants, of up to £750 each, are made available to medical students studying at Barts and The London SMD, who wish to benefit Barts Hospital though their work or their association with the Barts Guild and who are in financial difficulty.

The grants are made in order to support elective placements that will provide candidates with experiences that will benefit their career and future patients. It will be an advantage for students to be undertaking an elective within the areas for which Barts is a specialist hospital; i.e. cardiology, cancer, endocrinology, fertility and sexual health medicine. In this case, students should provide details in their application.

The applicants are asked to be members of the Barts Guild (free for students). Furthermore, the successful applicants will be requested to provide (by email or hard copy) an elective summary, which may be published in the Barts Guild Newsletter and/or online.
