Funding and scholarships
According to a recent study on UK universities, law students see the highest return on their educational investment out of all professions in the UK. In spite of this, the prospect of funding your legal education can be a daunting one and an area in which limited information appears to be available. At BPP we understand this and as such we contribute a number of ways to assist with your funding.
BPP offer a number of generous scholarships to provide financial assistance throughout your studies:
Scholarship funding has become available for students who would be unable to commence the GDL in London in 2008 without financial assistance. You must have applied for the GDL prior to the 10th September and be unable to commence the GDL with any provider for financial reasons. This is a merit-based scholarship and applicants will be assessed individually, either by selection from GDL applications by the Scholarship Panel or by submitting your name to Admissions for referral to the Panel before 30th September 2008.
BPP also run an annual competition offering a free place on the GDL and LPC:
