School/Departmental Bursaries and Scholarships
Many schools/departments offer bursaries to eligible categories of students, and scholarships on a competitive basis, some of which cover all tuition fees.
Loughborough Sports Scholarships
Support varies by sport and performance level, and we aim to provide our sports scholars with first class coaching, sports science and sports medicine support, access to extensive indoor and outdoor training and competition facilities, a performance life skills programme and an annual cash award.
To be eligible to apply for a sports scholarship you need to have gained a place on a postgraduate course and be competing in your chosen sport at least at junior international level.
For more information email sports-scholars@lboro.ac.uk or telephone +44 (0)1509 226108
Music Tuition and Scholarships
The Music Centre offers subsidised music tuition in a range of instruments or for voice selected via open auditions.
Those selected receive thirty minutes’ tuition per week for twenty weeks. The cost of this would be £250, but via the scheme, students only pay a £55 registration fee. You must register your interest for the tuition at the start of each academic year.
The University also offers up to three competitive music scholarships each year selected by an independent panel of distinguished musicians. These are awards of £500 and the scholars are expected to give a recital in the Spring.

Prizes
There are a number of University and school/departmental prizes awarded across the University to postgraduate students for activities including exceptional academic achievement, sustainability, internationalisation and development of cooperation between the University and the local community.
University Prizes awarded exclusively to postgraduate students currently include the prestigious Loughborough University Graduate School Prizes (each worth £400), and two John Guest Phillips Travelling Scholarships (each worth £500), which are awarded to research students who wish to extend their knowledge of their subject, either within this country or overseas.
Access to Learning Fund (ALF)
The ALF is available to UK postgraduate (taught and research) students studying at least 50% of a full-time course who experience unanticipated and serious financial difficulties. To qualify, students must meet the same residence conditions as for student loans.
Postgraduate Taught Care Leavers Bursary
Care leavers from the UK who have recently graduated and want to progress onto full-time postgraduate study may be eligible for a bursary worth up to £2,660 which is intended for assistance with the cost of their study.
