These terms and conditions apply only to the WLV Wallet bursary, which was awarded for the first time in the academic year 2022/23.   

The WLV Wallet bursary is awarded to help support the successful progression of all eligible students. The funds can be used to purchase a wide range of digital and technology products, stationery, books, mobile data and other resources to support a student’s studies and help make the most of university life.

The bursary is available to all UK full-time new entrants on an undergraduate programme where the course is studied at a University of Wolverhampton campus. This includes Foundation degrees and HNC/D, where studied full time and based at a University campus.

To be eligible for the WLV Wallet bursary, you must meet all the criteria that apply. 

NB: the criteria below are for students registering in or during the 2022/23, 2023/24 or 2024/2025 academic years.

  • You must be a UK (Home fee status) student, fully enrolled on a full-time, undergraduate course (at level 3 or level 4). This includes those students on integrated masters, HND/HNC and foundation degrees.
  • Your course must be delivered by the University and the place of study must be a University of Wolverhampton campus.
  • The award will only be made once for each level of study. So, if a level of study is being repeated, the bursary will not be awarded.

Exclusions:

  • Students who have previously enrolled at the University of Wolverhampton will not be eligible. 
  • International and EU Students (overseas fee status) will not be eligible.
  • Apprentices, distance learners, and students at partner colleges or other locations that are not a University campus will not be eligible. 

The total bursary, which will be awarded as a WLV Wallet online credit, will be £300 and will be awarded across two years: £200 in the first year and £100 in the next year of study, subject to satisfactory progression to the next level ( for example, level 3 to level 4 and level 4 to level 5).

  • Eligible students will be awarded their funds once they are fully enrolled.
  • Funds will be available to spend online on a wide range of resources to support a student’s studies (see wlv-wallet.co.uk for more details) and may be amended at any time.
