Open University Students Educational Trust
Any undergraduate student who has completed at least 30 credits of study with the Open University (OU), who is not eligible for statutory funding and can demonstrate financial hardship; any postgraduate student who has completed their undergraduate degree with the OU within the past 5 years and can demonstrate financial hardship.
Priority is given to students who have begun their OU studies but through changed financial circumstances find it difficult to complete their study.
Costs linked directly to OU study. In relation to modules forming a part of a specific qualification which the student is intending to achieve, the Trust will consider applications for module fees, set books, course materials and the purchase or maintenance of study-related equipment. Please see criteria for full details.
Non-OU study. New students who have not completed 30 credits of study with the OU. Postgraduate study for students who completed their undergraduate study outside of the OU. Please see criteria for full details.
