Am I able to work whilst in receipt of a scholarship?

Yes, you may work for an employer whilst receiving a scholarship.

If you are in receipt of a need-based scholarship and your financial situation changes, you are required to notify the Scholarships Office. You will then be advised of any impact this may have on your scholarship.

You can contact the Scholarships team directly on any of the below options, depending on what type of Scholarship it is:
