Additional information

Core-STEM subjects include science, technology and maths subjects such as physics, engineering, mathematics, statistics and IT, and are not eligible for this scholarship. Far-STEM subjects include, for example, biology, geology, psychology and medicine, which are eligible. Non-STEM subjects include, for example, economics, business and arts, which are also eligible.

An estranged person is someone who no longer has the support of their parents, and often also other family members, due to a permanent breakdown in their relationship which has led to ceased contact. This might mean your biological, step or adoptive parents or wider family members who have been responsible for supporting you in the past. We may request further information to confirm.
